I'm assuming most of these employees are at will, without contracts. It's a bribe aimed at tellers and other grunts living paycheck to paycheck.

Seems perfectly reasonable to me. Gonna take some time to sort everything out, and these people know they are losing their job, so it will take incentives to keep the grunts from scurrying everywhere. Depending on how bad this is under the hood, I’d be a lot more worried about fuck you in the ass jail time than any money if I were an executive. And for something like this to happen, I’m sure there has to be some ugliness we don’t know about to be going on.

The heart of a modern bank is really just a bunch of numbers running on what is generally at the base level, a bunch of COBOL. If the servers don't stay up, there are no deposits. These are banks, so the servers are not "up in the cloud somewhere."

Dont see a downside for those people. Even if people started looking for a job Thursday night it would still be several weeks at a minimum to get a new one.

I just don't feel like this offer is aimed at anything but hourly employees they need to stave off the zombie hordes coming Monday morning. This is Black Friday retail on steroids with a lot of angry, scared people. How many $16/hr tellers are thinking about saying fuck it, and doing a no-call/no-show right now?
Why deal with it, if you don't have to?

Eh? I've been offered jobs to start the next day more often than not. "When can you start" is a real question for talent. They are offering that package to try and coerce that talent to stay

Yea I don't get it. Most of my jobs I started within a few days of applying, or at most two weeks. My current job was the only aberation, taking about 2.5 years from application to starting. I almost blew off the eventual call and the four week time for starting as a prank call.

And? Lower labor participation just means employers are more eager to get people who will start right away. The pool of available workers is smaller. Do you understand supply vs demand?

This SIVB thing is such a dilemma.
Is it funnier watching globohomo celebrities lose their money, or bullshit tech companies lose their money?
Harry & Megan? Oprah? RBLX? RKLB? DNA? ROKU?
I don't even own any FAZ at the moment but this shit gets funnier with each piece of news that shows up. Don't any of you fuckers dare fact check me on this list. Too good to check means too good to check.
