HR severance deadlines, PIPs, personnel files

Añadido: 2026-05-26

[00:00:00]Five things HR [music] knows that you do not. One, you have 21 days to sign a severance agreement if you're over 40.

[00:00:07]They know it, they hand you a pen [music] anyway and expect you to sign it right then. Two, you can request your personnel file and whatever is in it [music] has probably been there for a while. Three, a PIP has a predetermined end in most cases. They decided the [music] outcome before you signed the first page. Four, your exit interview is not confidential. That room isn't closure, [music] it's a deposition with coffee. And five, you do not have to sign anything the day they walk you out.

[00:00:28]The deadline is not real. The urgency [music] is just not for the reason they said. They built a system around you not knowing any of this. Build what they [music] can't take.
