I've read through just out of curiosity. The severance package is:
Is this common in the US? This really feels like nothing. I do not know whether there are other remunerations funded by the government, but 4 months of pay after being laid off really is not very much.
Is this company paying out a very small sum to their employees or is it common to give very little money to fired people?
Ha, honestly as someone living in the US that sounds like a lot more than I’ve ever got.
