"NBCUniversal is offering separation pay that isn't tied to employees' number of years on the job, an atypical move that some leadership experts say risks denting worker loyalty in the long term. The media giant told employees this week that if they don't want to comply with a new return-to-office mandate, they can leave and take a severance package comprising eight weeks of base salary, Business Insider first reported."
"If other companies follow NBCU's example, workers may become less inclined to stay with any one employer for more than a few years, cautioned Raj Namboothiry, head of staffing firm Manpower's US division. That's because a potential future severance package would exclude the kind of safety net they could count on with a traditional package, he said. Since standard packages are tied to tenure, the longer an employee stays with a company, the bigger the payout they would receive."
NBCUniversal is offering separation pay that is not tied to employees' years of service, giving eight weeks of base salary to those who opt out of a return-to-office mandate. The payout is voluntary for eligible employees, contrasting with some companies that issued mandates without offering severance. Standard severance typically scales with tenure, providing larger payouts the longer employees remain. Manpower US head Raj Namboothiry warns that a fixed, time-independent severance could reduce incentives for long-term retention and erode worker loyalty, and extending flat payouts after involuntary layoffs could further weaken commitment.
