Now there's an opinion you don't hear every day. Why not just leave the company if you know you can be quickly hired into a better-paid/more enjoyable job?

- marme 11y agowhen you get laid off like this it is normal to get between 2 to 3 months salary as severance. if you quit you get nothing, i have seen people stick around in companies after mergers for weeks knowing they are going to be laid off but just waiting around for their severance check because waiting 2 weeks to leave a job can be a difference of ten of thousands of dollars in your pocket

- pageld 11y agoWhen I was laid off in 2009, I got 2 weeks 'severance' even though I had 10 PTO days accrued. (They basically just paid out my paid leave). This was for a software consultancy business. I would like to live in your 'normal'.
