Thank you AAPL and NVDA
So they don’t have to pay severance or anything.
Technically it's not quitting it's still being let go, but they won't give severance. Have to file for unemployment.
It is true. No severance. Fuck rackspace
Pretty awesome!! A brand new building with no locust dropping on your head. Micro brewed beer on 8 taps all day long. Catered breakfast with fresh juice and catered lunch with gourmet small plates of food. Interesting work, awesome and smart folks! And they don’t ask you to fuck off and join Tech Mahindra!! 😂
125 of us, including Quality Engineering, were given two-week notice that our employment would end, and that TechM would make offers to everyone affected so they could work as contractors to Rackspace. They call it re-badging. As Rackspace is providing a new job through their partner, they chose not to offer severance. They apparently do not have to give any unemployment benefits. This is their new definition of testing employees like family. This may be the pilot before they do it to other groups.
We'll see that is the thing, these 125 aren't rackers and aren't our family (at least after this happens), so it doesn't matter what they say or what happens to them. Also, if this group has given the most severe racker pulse scores, making this change will improve employee satisfaction which as we know, is one of the 3 metrics they care about.
Heh! Best way to improve metric is getting rid of the data point 😆
To be fair, for those on a Visa or have families, it would be preferred to have a job lined up in my current city as opposed to severance and an unknown future.
Just read news article. It sounds like Rackspace had been a shitshot with three CEOs in the last three years.
I would tweet our dear Mr. President about this and cross my fingers.
All, be aware that they are cyberstalking current TES employees and scouring their LinkedIn and other social platforms....so tread lightly.
To do what exactly? There’s nothing to take away other than that shit contractor “role”?
Everyone get out. It looks like a sinking ship.
It has been a sinking ship for a while now. The most ineptly managed company ever
Verizon did that with Infosys and hoardes of their employees. Tis the new trend!!
