OK..right now my company is going through layoffs. The WARN act has been activated (we have 60 days to find a new job internally before the layoff actually becomes concrete).
Is it standard practice for a company to waive that employee's severance if that employee refuses an internal job offer? Like for instance, let's say the manager finds the employee a job, but the employee doesn't want to take it b/c he knows it is something that will be depressingly boring, stressful, will be stuck with people that person detests, etc etc.
To me, that's like being railroaded out of the company. "You will let us ram this job down your throat or you will leave" is the message that seems to be communicated. =(
I have also heard however that the HR manager may be willing to waive that requirement so that employees and still have one last chance to pick and choose. Nothing for certain yet, only a rumor.
