Pros
Being part of the worst layoff process I realized, I'm glad I won't have to work with Boingo's HR team ever again.
Cons
worked for 3 years and 50 weeks...2 weeks/10 work days short of an "actual" year according to Boingo. When I was let go along with 80 other teammates, Boingo offered two weeks severance for each year worked for the company. BUT...because I worked for 50 weeks my last year, 2 weeks/10 days technically short of a year, I didn't get my severance for my last year. I was not offered a prorated, or a partial payment for that 50 weeks that I killed myself working for Boingo. I got $0 for 50 weeks of work in my 4th year. I was only paid severance for 3 years of work. They laid us off the week before Christmas holidays, squeezed everything out of us before the layoffs, and didn't care about the work we did if it didn't technically measure up to a year. What a terrible HR department. They could have provided a prorated severance for my 4th year. This is just one the examples of how awful the decisions that the Boingo HR department makes every single day. Boingo HR upset every person who got laid off, and while layoffs are always hard, they don't have to be brutal. Boingo HR mis handled the layoffs; It was a masterclass in unprofessionalism in HR. Boingo HR is just bad. Full stop. It's well known inside and outside of the company that the HR at Boingo is terrible.
