Decline the invite

I'd say go on vacation today. Use holiday time as charge code to burn it. Come back and have the call. Then get paid out vacation and severance.

I was always told decline decline decline and don't pick up your cell if a random number calls you. Like A1 said buy yourself more time.

I do not believe they have to pay it out. It also depends what state they are in. Vacation time is something they should pay out because they accrued it.

Yes, had a friend get fired over the phone while out of home state.

Drop a hint you'll have a lawyer to look at it before you sign anything.

So how did they negotiate severance? What about laptop and phone?

My friend did

What happens if you decline the invite?

P2 so how should the friend negotiate severance.

Do they pay out holiday plus vacation time?

You postpone the inevitable and probably buy yourself another paycheck and time to find another job

What if they are on the bench? Still decline?

That's a little tougher because what are you doing all day. Maybe have them reach out to someone on the sly to get put on some reinvest work and then block the calendar for that time. What group are they in?

They are in FS.

FS has been shred to ribbons. I don't know how long they would be able to avoid the inevitable.

Yup P1 they have been trying to get staffed East and west, and no work.

Is there a lawyer who can help with proper severance, vacation etc? This is their first job, and they are three years out of a Masters program.

Higher offers at 27-28 with more fixed pay is from contract and hire/fire type companies. Mostly indirect hiring instead of direct employment with the final employer, means higher pay with lower jon security - we get little more pay, companies get the option to let go with ease later!

About rolling off my project with no new project opportunity yet. I’m already getting anxious and can’t have a full night rest with the worry of not finding a project soon and eventually getting laid off. Although I tend to stress-out easily but this type of anxiety is different. Are others feeling the same way? Also over 90% chargeability and great reviews, but seems like that may not matter with the recent layoff stories I’ve read....
