Recently terminated. Question about separation benefits. I was asked to sign an agreement to get the benefits. I had 45 days to sign it and revoke it within 7 days, if needed. But, I signed it earlier than that and then repented .When I asked HR if I can revoke it and sign it later, they said yes. I was redirected by exit team to ask for a new link for the agreement. I have been emailing the team several times, but, no response. What could be going on?

Why did you get terminated?

I'm curious why you exercised the right to revoke. Just for the thrill of it? Why wouldn't you work with a lawyer, review details, revoke only if necessary?

Yes, they take unusually long times to respond, for such a time sensitive matter ..which could have contributed to my going crazy with the back and forth. 🤞

For something this important, why the heck didn't you read through it beflre signing?

Folks…thank you for helping me relieve some of the stress. FB is truly a great place to get support and advise on some very unique problems, which we can’t discuss openly.

So - I sought the help of an ex-colleague to contact Employee relations, which triggered a ticket and somebody contacting me. At the same time they responsible team also emails me the link to re-sign the agreement. Issue has been resolved. But, learnt my lesson to never sign anything without understanding it fully.
A few sleepless nights is not worth it!

Why would you sign, repent, and then want to sign again? What's the logic - you haven't explained, and by extension, not clear why the company owes you for your own flip flopping?

This is apart from any softer stuff about why you were terminated etc

I signed it in a hurry. When I asked HR if I can revoke it and get the same extension, they said yes . Because that was not clear in their notes. I am still within the time period. Just getting concerned if I was given the wrong info by HR.

Not sure how the Reason for termination matters here. It’s the usual layoff.

What's the reason to not sign / revoke? Sorry if that's a silly question, just wondering what the benefit is - why wouldn't you sign?

Yes… that’s what I was told before revoking it. I asked HR if I can get to sign again before revoking it and they said yes. But, there is no response of a new link where I can resign it. So, getting a little worried therr

Are you asking about COBRA? Do you know who administers cobra (Payflex, health equity, WEX, etc.)? If you have that info, you’ll get faster and more accurate info from them.

A long post: seeking some perspective. My husband of 2 years that I’ve been in a relationship with for more than 8 years just woke up one day and told me that he’s unhappy in our relationship. I’m devastated because he’s never expressed anything like this in the 8 years. He’s been super supportive and loving, even when we were in a long distance relationship. He supported my career and dreams and this just doesn’t make sense. We have gotten a counselor but things aren’t getting better. Comment>

My natural instinct is to assume rejection if I have conflict with a partner or don’t think my feelings are reciprocated. I’ll try to bring it up with them, but I’ll say “if you want to end this feel free” so it doesn’t hurt me (and they can say what they really mean instead of sugarcoating). Someone told me today that they just assume I’m not interested because I always seem to “run” but I’m not sure how to bring up problems/feelings otherwise. How do you approach these hard questions?
