Not the OP, but what I’ve experienced is severance packages get worse across rounds at a single company. A previous employer started at 1 year pay / benefits, then six months, then six weeks + two weeks per year of service.


Then you have corporations like the previous one I worked at, which had a terrible 1 week pay per year you've worked there, capped at 4 weeks pay.

I know someone who had worked there for 17 years that got laid off and only got 4 weeks because of it.

They never got around to laying me off, I ended up quitting much later than I should have.


That really puts loyalty towards your employer into perspective, doesn’t it?
