Layoffs 2023













































The severance package is pretty decent. Which makes me #AbbottProud. Luckily, I live in a “right to work” state and will happily go to a competitor.

Ya, except I’ve never worked for a company that’s been investigated by the doj for criminal stuff, so there’s that to not exactly be proud of.

I worked at Abbott for 12 years. They laid me off but given that I was over 55 I got this outstanding package. Eight months of free money plus unemployment. When I started my new job I officially retired from Abbott and was getting my paycheck and pension.

Illegal. Once you started a new job, you were not permitted to receive paychecks and pension benefits. Looks like you owe Abbott $s or go to jail. Sorry but that is the law.

Actually, I let the PCL run out before I started work. Started my new job two months after the PCL was gone. Then Abbott paid me my vacation pay. With unemployment added in I did not lose a penny. Free vacation. Point is Abbott does a lot of layoffs, but they are gentler about it than most companies.
