Ex-Manager was upset I fleeced the company

[xXOGLEGENDXx]

So basically a few months ago an old friend I have that works in HR for my company kind of low-key inadvertently tipped me off that my company was contemplating layoffs and that my team in my department maybe could be affected. So I decided to start looking elsewhere just in case. Not gonna sit around and wait.

I got incredibly lucky with what happened next.

So I didn't get any offers for a couple of months until July. I got an offer from another company with a pretty decent pay increase and I accepted.
In my mind, I was just going to resign and move on, but literally the day after I accepted their offer, I got a random notification for a meeting with my manager and her manager. I was literally crafting a two week notice email to send off.
Next day we get on the call and they have an HR rep on the call too. I knew immediately what was going on. They break it to me that my position is being removed and I'm being laid off.

My company actually is pretty good and HR says I will have 60 days until my position is officially terminated. In that time they said I was still re-hireable elsewhere within the company and that I will still receive my normal pay. But I will have limited access to my computer, no access to the building, and that I will not be completing any work related tasks.

The best part was after the 60 days I would still receive my bonus for the year since I worked the full fiscal year, my remaining PTO would be paid out, and I would get my severance pay. So basically I had two full salaries with one job for two months.


So fast forward to the end of the 60 days. I already got my bonus, PTO and severance pay

I get a text from my manager asking how I am doing and what's going on. I already told my supervisor, who got laid off too, that I already found a new job prior, so I assume he informed her already. So my ex-manager basically says it would have been nice for me to have told them before they laid me off. She hinted that I was being untrustworthy and deceptive and said that HR may not view me as re-hireable in the future.


Basically she was in her feelings because she would have rather me resigned and forfeited the severance pay, bonus, PTO and paychecks
Now I got a better paying job and beefed up the hell out of my savings.

Fck them. You played their game and won. Kudos to you OP




Your only mistake was sharing personal details about your life with them. Default answer should always be a variation on "I'm doing good" , with no further details rendered.

Your ex-manager is a idiot.

Lol, congrats on your new position and glad you got your bonus.

Nothing you did was illegal. I fact, her implication that you may not be hirable at the company in future may be grounds for a lawsuit.

Get your money breh.

You were being laid off, they expected you to just sit on your hands?

I wouldn't even say you fleeced them, you just one upped them trying to fleece you

They were expecting that, or that I would look at another position within. Either way I wouldn't get anything extra.

Well it's nice you've found a better job breh

 

[xXOGLEGENDXx]

My mistake. I meant I got my offer in July

 

[GreenGhxst]

Why is she tripping off that shyt

I'm glad you ran a couple circles around them

She sure as fukk would've if she was in your position

 

[Redwood]

Why she tripping off that shyt

He basically beat them at their own game.

My thinking is the money I got from them would have been allocated to my remaining department.

 

[Wig Twistin Season]

Congrats on your W. fukk that manager and her saltiness. It sounds like they were hoping you took a lower paying job within and got rid of your role as a way of capping your pay to keep you stuck in a role with no future.

 

[Estarossa]

Imagine being upset that you got finessed by someone you were going to layoff anyway… goofy ass bítch.
