John Deere Financial was a great company to work for until you take their Voluntary Separation package & leave the company. After 24 yrs at the company, was ghosted by HR when I had questions about the package. No exit interview. Just an email letting me know to turn in my work equipment or face having to pay for it. Treated like garbage by management. The pandemic lead the organization to offer the packages & they threatened layoff if packages not taken by employees. Horrible experience

Are company layoffs good or bad for business for the people who's jobs are staying? My company of about 200 people just let 15 people go. Is this a good sign or bad sign? I'm 27F with about 5 years experience at this company. Does this lead to more room for growth at this stage of my career or is this a red flag?

What are the odds that I’ll be allowed to WFH after completing my FLDP (the undergraduate kind, not the MBA kind)? I know people always say you’re more valuable to the company after you finish these programs but do I have enough leverage to do this (and not get fired, haha)?

How often do you switch jobs? I was in a job for 10+ years, got layoff, then switched to another one for 1 year (left due to company instability) and landed on my current job (a start-up).

With 2 short-term jobs (both for 1 year) would that really hurt me when I go on interviews?
