I got laid off on Monday.

I got laid off on Monday. They offered me 5 weeks severance after 8 1/2 years. I was given 24 hours to bring in my laptop, and 48 hours to sign the severance agreement or risk getting just two weeks (illegal). I wrote answered with what I’d like as far as severance goes (much more) what the law stipulates, and didn’t sign of course. They wrote me back very sweetly with an 8 week offer, but I’m countering with more. We’ll see what happens next
@patrickworld
Aw. Sorry to hear that.
Good that you know your stuff. Do you have legal help?
Go for the max. -

I am sorry that after being there for that many years , you have to move on. You will have a great resume though, and wherever you land will be delighted to get someone that stayed with a company for 8+ years. -

@patrickworld Pretty unbelievable that after 8+ years they'd try to go with a mere *5 weeks*. Good luck!

@patrickworld Hopefully you will still be able to use someone there as a reference and have a pension from them. Companies will do whatever they think they can get away with these days and have to look after number 1.
