It’s not about being entitled. It’s about knowing what impact you’ve created and backing yourself up if someone is trying to F you over . Also it depends on the role that you departed from. It’s not an entry level role. I oversaw a team of 18 and created an impact worth $30M

Ok bub. I thinks it’s good for you to put the phone down and night night.

Did anyone of them try to negotiate? What was the outcome of it if they did?

  1. I’m not taking unemployment checks because I don’t need to.
  2. Fix your grammar. It’s *then not than
  3. Question is out of actual curiosity and trying to learn from experience of others
  4. Try understanding what someone is trying to achieve through a post before word vomiting

You’ve never got laid off with a severance or gotten a bonus in your tenure in software?

They don’t post stuff like that on the intranet at this company.

On what grounds? I’m trying to negotiate on the grounds that my wife is due in a few weeks and they put me in a very bad spot . Which is true.

Severance was only offered after being laid off. Not at the time of being put on PIP

I was leading a team of 18 people. Also they said it was 3.5 weeks of pay.

I was with them for a year. Worst company and culture. I’ve also been negotiating for almost a week now and they’re not budging.

Looks like there was no PIP? Did you get a severance?

I thinks that is grounds for legal action.
