I got laid off today. I joined the company a year ago, was super enthusiastic, was consistently bringing value, got promoted, and worked hard. When the lockdown started, all of the employees’ salaries got cut for 4 months. I lost 25% of the pay, since the company went into a “survival” mode. That’s despite the company continuing being profitable, getting millions in stimulus money, and continuing to hire new people. We were also required to come to the office, despite being in the middle of NYC. Many of my colleagues, as well as myself got Covid. I had it really bad! My morale went down, and I’ve been half-assing since November. Prior to getting laid off I was put on 4 weeks PIP. I feel that I did everything and beyond of what was asked of me. But the manager already made up his mind, and it was a game I couldn’t win. The company gave me two weeks of severance, and all my benefits ending at the end of the month. I signed the paper. But I have a week to retract it. Do I have a case to get a larger severance? And if so how should I go about it? #severance #layoff

Regardless, it is probably better to focus on getting a new job, than fighting over a little more severance.
If you still want to go all out on maximizing your severance, here is a good tutorial: https://youtu.be/jCperI2Azy8
Thanks for the video!
Sorry you’re experiencing this and hope you land somewhere better ASAP.
