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
Good luck! Make sure you're being advised by someone with legal qualifications. There are often cheaper options available than going full law firm if you look online.

Depending on his economic circumstances, he may have enjoyed the blessing. The economy right now is pretty scary, but in other times, people can now often end up in a place where they are actually very thankful they were given an opportunity to look elsewhere.
@GhostOnTheHalfShell @patrickworld no consultation period and only five weeks redundancy pay is an insult after eight years of service though.

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.
