Not to mention, HR would likely be the ones creating and communicating that requirement, so reporting them to themselves is not going to be fruitful.

What do you mean by train your replacement. if someone is laid off due to performance any one will require the outgoing resource to hand over KT of his daily job duty. it is not like they will teach the skillset ..but they would certainly need to handover KT of their daily job duties to the new person.

Do it, they won't know you did it poorly until after your long gone.

Does everyone who gets lay off receive severance? Even the ones who were let hi because of performance issues?

At PwC, once you hit manager your severance is spelled out in your employment contract.

Train your replacement for two days and then request that they double your severance. If they don’t agree then leave and demand original severance because you performed some training.

TCS Hr revised my ctc to 27.5lpa from 24lpa for C3A band & shared ctc break up. I negotiated asking him to revise the fixed comp to 26lpa & JB. He said that he would try for fixed comp of 26lpa but no JB. Later he came back saying he can't get an approval for 28lpa & asking me if I'm okay with 24lpa & he would try to get 24lpa also if possible. Is he trying to get the ctc down or does he can't get approval? How do I get him to give the 27.5lpa break up offer? YOE:9y6m Role:Infra ManagerTata Cons
