If I'm laid off, aren't I entitled to severance pay? I was laid off yesterday but told our company doesn't offer severance pay and I'm pretty upset. Is there anything I can do?

I always thought if you were laid off you should get severance pay but in reality, I suppose it's up to the employer. I'm not sure there is much you can do about this sorry

It entirely depends on the language within the Organization’s Severance Policy.

Hello After working in Barclays for five years as a digital developer i am looking an opportunity to move , i would like to work as a junior react developer, any jobs there please, thank you

I tried asking this in my own bowl with no responses, so seeing if other consultants have run into this situation. I’m on parental leave, I got an offer for another firm, great opportunity and pay. How does one go about a resignation mid-leave when you would start the new job before the leave ends? Two weeks notice or just say I am not returning effective the day of the new job? Any things to consider besides potentially repaying the employer healthcare premium?

For all you retail people...are you experiencing a very slow holiday season? I am a retail manager and I feel like this season has been freakishly slow. I thought we would at least match last year's number or be up a little bit but we are trending down. I talked to employees of other stores in the mall and they are saying the same thing. Is anyone else experiencing this in their market?
