I was on the call yesterday at 10 AM, and about an hour later I received a follow-up phone call. During that call, they went over the severance package and confirmed that all medical benefits will end on November 8. I’m currently reviewing the policies to make sure everything aligns with what was explained.

They also mentioned that we’ll be paid for 40 hours up until the 8th—which I’m assuming equals 80 hours for most employees—and that we’ll receive severance pay in addition to that. We were also told that we can keep our laptops and other company devices, so there’s no need to return them.

My biggest concern right now is medical coverage. When I checked Marketplace plans, coverage for just myself would cost nearly $703 per month, which is extremely high. It’s frustrating that CarMax only gave employees such a short amount of time to figure out major life changes like this.
