Well if you were laid off and not fired, then I assume you're receiving some sort of severance in the form of a regular paycheck for x number of periods.

You’re probably gonna get paid for some time. Until payroll/accounting notices it. Trust me, I’m an HRIS consultant.

Are you sure you were laid off?

There is a thin line between “Laid off” and Unlimited PTO

I believe you are on that thin line

Will they ask for it back

Depends where you are located. If you are in CA, they can request you to return it but they can’t make you. If it is a high enough amount they can sue you for it but usually it isn’t worth their time and effort.

Keep your mouth shut

Mind your business aka shhhhh.

Who is still in denial about a housing correction? The Fed just made another .75% increase. Powell said they won’t stop until inflation is 2%. He also said a recession would be better than the consequences of unchecked inflation. He announced he will bring rates to a “restrictive level” until “the job is done”. He said that labor demand needs to soften (ie: layoffs). He very explicitly said he wants to slash demand and that housing needs a “correction”.

Boomer. I am in between jobs. Laid off in 10/21 after 16+ yrs, with an ABA firm. RIF. Still on excellent terms. Took my time living off generous package and didn’t seriously start applying until 01/22. Made a rookie mistake and accepted first offer.
Turns out job wasn’t as advertised. Mutual parting of ways 3/22. Due diligence is critical.
Now interviewing a LOT. Some temp work, I still have “it”. I relate to all gens. Willing to mentor AND learn from all. Tech savvy, CTE from day one. Leads?
