Be careful negotiating severance if your company does not like you or has a poor culture.
Making a counter offer can be taken as a refusal of their offer of severance.
Companies can't just not offer you severance if they make a habit of it so they may take advantage of being able to deny you the option.
I am not a lawyer but I know people who have lost their option of a severance simply by trying to negotiate for a better offer.

You're right you have to know the company, and in this case it was a great company with nice founders but the economy was tanking adyer the 2008 crash so they needed to cut costs.
