Severance

Just got a RIF notice from MSFT. Severance package isn't bad. For those of you that have been through this before did you have an attorney review the severance package? Any referrals?

I've been through it. Didn't bother with an attorney.

What would Bob the attorney find in a severance agreement from a major corporation that has done this for decades?

NASDAQ wundeebar Mar 12, 2019

Major Corp might know that they are low balling but that only 10% of people bother with having an attorney take a look... could be leaving a lot of $$ on the table if that’s the case

Amazon jNeo42 Mar 12, 2019

Lowball? A severance of $0.00 USD would be legal.

How many weeks or months you got ?

2 weeks for every six months of service

That's not bad. So, if someone stayed for 5 years, will get 5 months' salary, right?

Have some empathy. Someone got laid off

What's the severance and what team was this in?

No to lawyering up. Your energy and time is better spent on taking a break and then leet coding.
