Severance pay
( posting on behalf of a friend) We expect a layoff and there is a chance I’m not on the list. Is it ok for me to ask my manager to consider me in the list, just so that I can get my severance package? For context, I have another offer. Any red flags I should know of?
Is it in FB?
Ask your “friend” if the last impression he wants to leave is that guy who’s in it only for the $?
Well you are delusional if you think people aren’t in it for the money. Everyone including that managers mom is in this line of work for the benjamins.
That not true. Some people started in software because they actually enjoyed writing it. Those are the best people to work with.
Lol what.
Ask for a PIP
Tell your manager that you will give him 10% of severance package if he fires you.
This is probably fraud lol
If the manager is your best friend sure. Otherwise you can just stop contributing and say you are burned out.
Perfect. Might wreck your chances about returning to fb or working with this manager again, but a severance plus a new job would be amazing.
You will not be able to undo the change btw. The list is likely determined months in advance and if you miss this one you will be on the next one, when maybe you don’t have an offer. Also, keep in mind the politics of it, if it is known that you have another offer, the manager should not be giving you severance, that cost the company $.
Are these layoffs in FB ??
Just ask him to consider you instead of firing someone else. Tell them that you feel like you need a break if they ask. A manager would probably be thankful if you save them the hard decision on who to fire.
What is severance package ?
