- lovich 9y agoI don't know if it's different on the east coast but I have never met a single person whose gotten any severance. About the nicest I've seen from companies is them saying "we won't dispute your unemployment claim"

Read https://www.thelayoff.com https://www.thelayoff.com and typically any big companies layoff discussion will mention the severance package being offered. https://www.thelayoff.com/t/Plt3gwU https://www.thelayoff.com/t/Plt3gwU

Either outright firing, but one at a time, or some aspect of the job was changed abruptly and in a manner that garunteed people would leave. Those positions then wouldn't be backfilled. It's not doable on a scale of 1000s but it was doable on a scale of 30-40
