I have a question about severance. Our severance policy says severance payments will be made in installments during normal payroll cycles.
If I am to receive 3 months of severance, does that mean it might take them 3 months to pay it out in full?
If so, does that mean that I have to stay unemployed for 3 months if I want to receive the full payout? Otherwise if they find out I was hired somewhere, they stop paying it out?

Hopefully my job hunt wont even start. Factory is getting bought up most likely by a local firm.
Best scenario, severance lump sum, three months double pay and continue as usual after a free summer vacation. And 37 vacation days to be paid out.
Heres hoping.

Start the new gig tomorrow. Ended up seeing a posting by a '2nd' on LinkedIn. A manager from an adjacent group at my previous company. She was let go in the management RIF that happened a few months before my RIF. App submission, interview, offer happened in about 10 calendar days.

I’ll bring fish curry for lunch later this week to confuse everyone. I guess I could claim to be a lesbian tranny? Married a woman and had a very successful transition 10 years ago?

Open her own CPA/Accounting firm. She can begin with bookkeeping/accounting clients as well as tax prep.

Lol, telling clients "hey retard that's illegal" is almost every client. I guess doing it as an employee it changes to "Hey boss, that's illegal".
Ps.. I have some stories of the various shit clients have tried to write off and expense that make you go "wtf?".

Yeah she likes forecasting and being controller and whatever that kind of thing is.
He current company i told you done of had gotten worse. owner basically bought his kid a house in California with company money, hadn't been able to close the books from last year because hes avoiding finishing stove kind of finances, over my head. Only paid 50k back of it. Sold the company car to himself below market value basically so his wife has so effing for when she's in state.
She kinda wants to dime him out age she leaves.

This is who I've been seeing a lot of on Twitter lately... She's the black doom queen of layoffs...
But she also backs up what she says with data, so there's that.
I'm at a point in my career where I'm probably at the "start the last act of the play" phase. (just turned 56). And I'm honestly seriously concerned that everything technical about what I know (Cybersecurity controls and architecture) is going to the functional domain of an AI within 2 years. Being in sales might inoculate me some as there is also the need for "interpersonal skills", but even that seems shakier than I've ever seen it. Average job hunt timeframes for someone my age range are now stretching into the year territory.

Yeah I recall. The working for someone is the safe route, but branching out on your own opens up the door to significant rewards if you can scale the business. And of course not having a boss doing shady shit. And you can always fire shady clients.

Blue Collar went through this 30-40 years ago in most sectors, outside of the trades(and even those as well, with cheap, Mexican labor). Now it's white collar's turn, outside of some specialized roles/sectors. The rest will get outsourced to AI and/or cheap, pajeet labor.
