Final RIF number

[Anonymous]

Assume the 1200 out of 3400 VTP eligible took the VTP and the proposed RIF number was max 2900 employees. Does this mean that the final RIF number would be 2900-1200=1700?

Bob said a majority of the RIFs would happen in 2014 so I'm expecting another 2899 in 2015.

LOL!
Outsourcing business services is not a RIF so any of that would be in addition to your 2899.
If BOB wants to go from 18,000 to 500, this is a way to do it.

So even CP visitors don't have a clue about the final RIF number.

Slowly transitioning individuals to green badges. Those people don't show up on RIF head count. If I'm doing the same exact job but as an employee of a CW org how am I not an employee of Amgen( by legal definition of employee)?

See Vizcaino v. Microsoft, 1996 or wiki Permatemp worker.
You don't take orders directly from Amgen managers, yet you must follow their procedures, despite your CW manager telling you to to follow totally different procedures. You are not paid directly from Amgen. Amgen does not have to pay SS, medicare, unemployment, SDI, 401K,insurance, taxes or deal with wage withholding on your behalf. Your job can be terminated at any time without notice or severence or any concern for your welfare. You no longer have any job security and your livelihood totally depends on your CW company renewing their contract with Amgen on a frequent basis. That is your priviledge as a CW second class employee. PS, you do not get to participate with any employee activities, priviledges or Amgen meetings or functions, and must park in the farthest parking areas from the core campus. You will be relegated to the lowest caste at Amgen. If you have access to servers, it will all be cancelled and you will need to re-apply for access on an as-needed basis. Your email and computer will be wiped clean. If you have an electronic key , they no longer trust you more than 30 days, and you will need to recharge it every month. This is Amgen's way of showing appreciation of all your years dedicated to the Amgen cause and core Amgen ethics. Soon 50% of the Amgen RIF survivors will be green badged. Just be glad you don't work at AWA or ACO where all jobs will be terminated in appreciation of their services.
