Waiting on WARN period timeframe…June 18th

WARN Act Does Not Prohibit Employers From Spacing Layoffs to Avoid Notice Requirements

Hopefully that is wrong. At this point, Biogen should be providing written notice to all employees now and relieving them of all their duties or they will really get themselves in legal trouble.

It will be June. Count on it.

Read the other posts. There is justification for it. One was restructure due to demand/ organizational efficiency. This one is due to the final NCD. You are wrong,

Paying 60 days of severance satisfies WARN. Those laid off in March were paid well over that, The severance document also likely has language stating that they can’t sue because of it, which is also legal. It’s not going to be June 18. Glenn is a dipshit.

I agree! My husband is an attorney and told me exactly what you just stated last Friday. So why is there no announcement then? I think Michel will look very stupid come May 3rd when nothing has been initiated.

On good authority from director level person, last day of work is 6/20!

I trust no one here.

So could somebody please clarify, if 6/20 were to be our last day, does that mean no severance then, because we are technically receiving that now if we have been ‘warned’? I’m clear as mud on what this means exactly.

Of its Glenn or Gep, then that’s just their speculation on misinterpreting the labor laws. Read the past posts.

i don’t think they had a plan. It’s not just us that they have to figure out, It’s global in all departments. Everyone and everything related to Adu is up in the air - government affairs, R&D (may not continue with embark or I care), manufacturing, etc. They had to wait on EMA, too, which was last week. They need to figure out what to cut, sell, and write down before the earnings call (like $200M in inventory). They also had to decide when to launch other assets to figure out the other departments - there’s a surprise coming next month.
That being said, they SHOULD have it done this week, and they SHOULD have been more transparent about why it’s taking so long and at least said “hey, it will be the end of April (or whenever they choose to it)”.
Assholes!!!

apparently on Thurs "check in" call there will be updates on timelines...who knows what that means or just GEP speculating.

Anyone hear anything else?

We are all done in May. Locking the doors, rolling up the side walks, Biogen leaving the building. Adu is dead, done and we are all gone. No one will be left.

it’s completely over. Alzheimer’s was a blip here, didn’t quite work out.

What is a check-in call? Is it just a regional call or a national call? If it is just a regional call, it means nothing and will have no substance. This is very upsetting.

unless it’s a national call, you aren’t going to get anything but speculation and rumors. I don’t have an invite yet.

No one has received anything. This is unbelievable!!!

I hate this company worth a passion. They treat employees like trash and nothing more. You owe them nothing anymore.

The west zone has a call where Deb will "pop" in to give an update on timelines...

This is all just speculation, but all of the DGMs, Nate, and Kim all have 7:30-9AM blocked off on Monday morning, so maybe it will roll down hill from there.
