One month of severance for almost four years of employment? That's pathetic, even outside of tech. Definitely affecting my perception of Twilio as a company.

- toomuchtodo 4y agoOne week for each year of service is pretty standard unless you’re getting packaged out for exceptional circumstances (physical office closing/moving, etc).
- omni 4y agoThis is anecdata but two high profile tech layoffs you've read about on here in the last few years gave out more like 2 months per year served, on the low end.
- toomuchtodo 4y agoThis is an outlier, and while commendable (I’d love to hear who it was, positive signal about who to work for wrt to respect and treatment of workers), it isn’t industry standard by any means. Great if you can get it, but don’t expect it.
- threads2 4y agoOff-topic but ESL person here, why "anecdata" and not "anecdotal"?
- panda88888 4y agoIt’s anecdotal + data
- Kon-Peki 4y agoFor the benefit of ESL, it is a portmanteau of anecdotal and data. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portmanteau https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portmanteau
