Anyone else waiting on severance packages in Ann Arbor?

Just checking in to see if the folks affected by the 282 reduction have heard anything definitive regarding the payout timelines. It’s been radio silence from HR since the announcement dropped. I’ve been with the team here for a few years and honestly, the lack of transparency is the most frustrating part. They talk about 'restructuring' and 'streamlining,' but it feels like they’re just trying to push us out the door with as little communication as possible. Has anyone actually received their documents yet? I’m starting to get nervous that they might try to delay the process to keep us on the hook for another week or two. If you’ve already signed or have a lawyer looking at the waiver, please share what you can without doxing yourself. This whole vibe is just soul-crushing.

It is incredibly frustrating to be left in the dark like this. I was part of the recent reduction as well and have heard absolutely nothing beyond the initial announcement. The lack of clear communication from HR makes a difficult situation feel even worse. At this point, I am just trying to figure out when the documents are arriving so I can plan my next steps, but the silence is deafening. You are definitely not the only one feeling this way; the 'restructuring' narrative rings hollow when they treat people like this at the end.

I’m in the same boat here in Ann Arbor. I reached out to my former manager earlier this week, and even they don't have a solid date on when the paperwork will hit our inboxes. It seems like the internal processes are completely bottlenecked or just poorly managed. I agree that the lack of transparency is the worst part of all this. It feels like we are being ghosted after years of hard work. Hang in there; hopefully, we get some clarity before the end of the week.
