Severance Pay, Unemployment, and Forced Resignation.

Has anyone been in this situation before and can offer some insight? When being forced to resign do you receive severance pay? Is there a way to guarantee severance and unemployment benefits eligibility in this situation?

Make sure they pay and it's better than whatever your severance would be. Otherwise, do not let them force you to resign

Thank you😣

What is the reason for forced resignation:
Mutual consent?
Restructure?
Elimination of position?
For cause?

Generally speaking as long as it’s not “for cause” you can try to negotiate for more severance, payout of PTO, any bonuses you were eligible for (again if this isn’t a for-cause situation).

If it’s for “mutual consent”, confirm they will not contest unemployment. If it’s for restructure/elimination of position you are also eligible.

Are you eligible to be re-hired for other open positions in the organization for which you are qualified?

Unless it’s explicitly outlined in an employment agreement, companies do not “have” to pay severance. Most places have an algorithm based on years of service (e.g., two weeks of severance per year of employment).

Have an employment lawyer review any document before signing it.

Hello Fishes, I interviewed at a company in October and they responded to me after a month. I accepted the verbal offer last week Wednesday. They said they would give written offer in a week. I have recruiters from the same company reach out for positions at different locations. My current recruiter said once I accept this I can't interview for other positions at the same company. Their process is so slow that I don't really want to miss out on any chance.What would be a great time to follow up?

I’m so grumpy about new campus hires. Sometimes I’m judgmental (your hobby is “working on your golf swing,” really?). Sometimes I’m just exhausted by the worried earnestness. Sometimes I’m amazed that they seem to have zero useful skills, yet they’ll be making 150k easily in the not too distant future.

Random confession: My husband has been in the US for 5 yrs & currently on his second consulting firm working as a Java Software Engineer. English is his second language and I am always amazed at how he conducts himself during meetings when he has to explain his technical work. Consulting can be hard and mentally draining at times. I’ve always been my own worst critic but watching him work from home during the pandemic has given me the motivation to always try my best and give myself grace.
