But none dare call it blackmail
Already called. let’s clobber them with calls.
No hablo engles...
“, and to do so without compensation.”
Nice.
Similar to unpaid overtime.
The workers don’t have to take the agreement. They can just be severed. Not saying the severance package is a good deal or a bad one, just that the workers are free to tell the company to stuff it.
Start bringing discrimination suits. This isn’t about pay. This isn’t about skills. This is about giving our jobs to India.
They want the US staffers to work for free with NO benefits so it isn’t about pay.
They want the skills of the white former staff which are needed to bring the replacements up to speed for YEARS after termination of employment.
RACISM.
Why would I hire somebody who is still beholden to their previous employer?
IBM didn’t even want to lose the white American staffers. They offered to help move them to India and hire them back for a small fraction of their original salary (and without Obama mandated benefits).
What absolute crap. Now this is where lawyers and whoever else needs to get involved. This company has a lot of nerve.
They probably put a 2 year NON-COMPETE clause in the severance agreement as well.
“it isn’t about pay.”
Correct. It’s about stock price and dividends.
I’d tell them to stick it where the sun don’t shine.
I’m tell SunTrust to go pound sand, and then have my lawyer give them a call.
Nice. From highly paid professional to unpaid intern. The circle of life.
I'll be the severance agreement also has a non-compete clause blocking you from working for a competitor. So you can't land a new job and have to be on-call for two years to provide free consulting.
SunTrust Banks in Atlanta, good luck finding anybody to work for you. You'd have to be insane to take a job at that company.
P-O-U-N-D S-A-N-D
Shareholders don’t even see these benefits. They are absconded by the upper ranks in the form of bonus checks (for cost savings) and higher salaries.
I don’t begrudge them making what they can, but they are telling their staff that they are not qualified, not worth the money, et al, and then chain them to the job even after termination.
Depends on the size of the severance check. If it was big enough, I’d sign on to that deal. If it wasn’t, I wouldn’t.
Republicans (and some democrats) have been disgustingly backing offshoring for decades.
Obola is more than glad to let pseudo-capitalists hang then and us, with their own rope.
H1-B is yet another “Free Trade” disaster for our country’s labor force, and sovereignty.
Let me get this straight... The geniuses at SunTrust BANK, are going to expect to use the FREE services, on call, of their FIRED/LAID OFF employees whom also are IT and/or EXPERTS at computer hardware, software, and/or high level security and (anti-)hacking theories and methodologies.
That’s.... AWESOME!!!! :)
