[mage lang="" source="flickr"]employment law severance agreement[/mage]
My company had a downsizing, what's the law w/ regard 2 signing a severance agreement that u don't agree with?
Here's what's going on: my company is laying off 20% of those people who "don't perform." They're going back 3 years, looking at sales numbers, and cutting the lowest 20%. Unfortunately, I had a bad 2004, but 2005 & 06 were great years (all documented). I have 2 counterparts that have only been with my company a little over a year. When it comes time to crunch the numbers, they'll only be measured by 2006's data (my best year and their ONLY year). I've got 1 bad year, 2 good years; they get 1 good year that counts as 3. THAT REALLY DOESN'T SEEM FAIR - AND I KNOW LIFE ISN'T FAIR - BUT CAN I DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT?
I'll be seeking future employment in sales, so when asked by my company to sign something that says "low performer" on it, should I sign it? Is it difficult for the HR dept. of a company to add an addendum stating that I was not let go due to poor performance?
I still don't know my fate... but it's right before Christmas. Nice Christmas present, huh?
If you know for sure you are on your way out, don't sign it.
All your HR dept can say is that you worked there and are elibible for re hire. Meanwhile line something else up quick. Its best if you can segue into something eles and have one or two jobs between your current one and the next place you really want to be.

Internazionale manager will try to outwit his mentor Louis van Gaal, then reign in Spain on a permanent basis The press officer for Germany’s champions was losing patience with the line of questioning and after half an hour the glad-to-be-here smile left his face. “Could we have one more question about Bayern Munich and not Mr Mourinho?” he said. “He’s a friend of ours but we are Bayern Munich.” Real Madrid’s Santiago Bernabéu Stadium makes dots of all but the greatest footballing men yet José Mourinho has already turned this place into his private theatre. Tonight’s Champions League final between Internazionale and Bayern Munich has been the story of a non-combatant and what he might do next. The last time Mourinho laid hands on club football’s grandest prize, with Porto in 2004, he avoided the team celebrations, stayed tight to his family and lifted the winner’s medal from his neck as an act of severance before moving on to Chelsea. Should Inter win their first European Champions’…
