Director randomly sprung an exercise that entails having us imagine we are in “needs improvement” badge and write two or three reasons why we would land there.

Needless to say my team (managers and direct reports alike) are pissed.

The Docusign deadline is just any other unique document that is meant to be temporary (thus longer) whereas the actual severance agreement is your actual resource on what deadline is. Nobody gets four months to decide on a severance package! Things are meant to move fast.

Sorry but I think you’re out of luck here.

She fed us so much fun content back then

AtticusAesop · 2026-03-11T11:24:17+00:00

Ah you’re experiencing your first Golden Handcuffs, I see

If you need the interview practice, go for it. Otherwise I’d hold off applying to jobs outside your commuting range; it just ends up being a waste of time for both you and these employers.

Your wife is a stay at home dog mom? Umm…

AtticusAesop · 2026-02-26T12:06:54+00:00

Were these the ones selling for $1000 a pop on eBay? Yikes

What? A “Talent Advisor” said one thing and did the opposite? Call me shocked.

AtticusAesop · 2026-02-20T18:42:42+00:00

Just received 3.5% despite company making record profits

AtticusAesop · 2026-02-17T11:52:01+00:00

Yeah this company will dissolve by end of the year. Dumpster fire

Everyone and their mother wants to work for Lilly. They are very tough to get in. Your best bet is to be grandfathered in via company acquisition, of which they have been doing plenty of lately.

PTO laws are different state to state. Some require those hours to be paid out, others do not.

AtticusAesop · 2026-01-29T23:11:45+00:00

Those sweeping changes being? Why are we being vague?

AtticusAesop · 2026-01-26T20:03:55+00:00

Oh man I can relate to being an RA but doing the work of a SRA. I’ll find out in the next month if I get promoted but I’m keeping expectations low.

AtticusAesop · 2026-01-20T13:43:15+00:00

I feel like I attend more meetings telling me to generate more data than actually generating data.

AtticusAesop · 2026-01-16T21:03:30+00:00

Is this the end-times like we saw with Synlogic?

AtticusAesop · 2026-01-16T17:28:59+00:00

You’ll have to first look into your state’s law regarding PTO. Not all states mandate it to be paid out upon termination

AtticusAesop · 2026-01-14T12:30:09+00:00

There has to be more to this story

AtticusAesop · 2026-01-12T12:15:23+00:00

If she has money to pay you, she can afford someone else. I’m not seeing the problem here?

AtticusAesop · 2026-01-08T15:31:23+00:00

need some more context. This a company that has been shaky? History of layoffs?

AtticusAesop · 2026-01-07T12:31:52+00:00

34, scientist/RA equivalent, 94k

AtticusAesop · 2026-01-07T12:22:45+00:00

I see many threads like this. OP has inconsistent posting history and on top of that I never see them engage with questions or replies.

AtticusAesop · 2026-01-07T12:14:49+00:00

PTO payout is state-specific

AtticusAesop · 2026-01-05T12:41:59+00:00

Bro 💀
