Laid off. 56 years old. No furlough. Major agency. Do I have the right through legal discovery to find out if the folks way up the ladder still got bonuses in March? Shareholder revolt?

What are you suing the agency for? Age discrimination? Gender?

You can’t just sue the agency for laying you off - if you are in the US, you are an at will employee...

I just think shareholders would like to know that their agencies executives are choosing to give themselves giant bonuses and keep layers of senior executives while laying off necessary staff. Shareholders might not agree with these choices and have something to say. Not to save my job to punish these bastards

Shareholders care about profit. Not you, not me, not anything other than the company valuation. Why do you think the market goes up when major corporations announce huge layoffs? Eliminating all those wages is good for the company’s bottom line. I worked in-house for a few years and was constantly lamenting the need to staff up in certain disciplines if we actually wanted to produce quality work and not constantly outsource to vendors. Was told in no uncertain terms that being a public company meant we needed to stay lean and that all those additional salaries would be a huge ding against us from a shareholder perspective.

Believing anyone in this industry- in corporate business in general - gives a single fuck about their employees, is a road to massive disappointment. There’s a clip from george carlin - “it’s a big club and you ain’t in it.”

With mass layoffs not only across the industry, but also the entire job market, it’ll be tough to prove your age and not covid is the catalyst. Inquire before you invest in this.

Team just applied for a TS Clearance (defense agency). Trying to assess if it makes sense to wait till the clearance comes through (6 months to a year?) before I job hop. I'm hoping to get some clarity on the following:
1. Can my company withdraw or cancel my clearance if I leave right after I secure a TS?
2. In terms of compensation, how much value (% compensation) does a TS clearance have in the DC area? Places I'm considering: AWS, Azure, GCP, Data bricks, Appian etc.
Any advice, thanks!
