This is somewhat standard in the US. I’ve worked for some companies I thought of as cheap or not so great but they both paid out some hefty severance packages based on years of experience. Some ex-coworkers got 24 months of severance based on the years of employment. HN leads me to believe that SV companies don’t do severance and just fire you at a whim but I wouldn’t say it’s the norm.
