Yes, you can ask for a volunteer package, but you must discuss this with your manager. Once you ask, you'll have about 2 days to turn in your stuff and hit the road.

Why wait for 2 days - just leave

Funny how so many people announce that they are leaving for external opportunities or retiring on Wednesdays these days.

External opportunity is code for being laid off for upper management level folks. That is how Amgen rolls.

I'm not so sure. There are a lot of private senior leadership meetings going on in the home office right now. Doesn't look good folks.

You are reading the tea leaves. If the numbers were bad they would have announced the layoffs BEFORE q2

Major Amgen layoffs are always end of year. They pay some groups until the end of the year with an early Q4 notice.

The senior leadership in my group under TS has been meeting quite frequently....bad sign?
