I was really appreciative of the way the first company I worked for handled my departure. Things were changing at the company so I was looking to leave anyway but then they decided to change their structure and I was given a few options in person (lived ~2000 miles from main office) all of which were mutually beneficial from my point of view.
A) stay on and help integrate an external team for up to 16 weeks (reduced hours, freedom to interview and apply elsewhere) B) stay on and wrap up the current sprint and tidy up some documentation for up to 8 weeks C) finish out the week and receive 6 weeks separation pay. All options also allowed me to keep insurance until I found a new position as well as keep my company provided tech. It really made me appreciate the people at the company overall, minus the person who was making the changes (which has since been canned and some of the engineering efforts at the company have stalled which is sad)
