[BayArea Breez]

people losing their jobs everyday...

sounds like they are correcting some mistakes of their regional sites and probably duty overlap.

2 week severance for every year worked is pretty standard in the industry. also, they get capped at 26 weeks (half a year)

 

[OG Talk]

only 2 weeks pay per year work?

Thats actually quiet fair and on point with union scale...

What are your expectations of corporate America?
