The money isn't for the internet to be satisfied. It's to signal to the remaining employees that the company will take care of you.

- hinkley 4y agoIt’s not true though. I’ve been through a few boom bust cycles. In fact I’ve been caught twice in the same cycle. Now I tell people that it’s better off to be in the first round. First, no survivor’s guilt for you. Also the company still has money to match the guilt they feel for you. I’ve only ever felt “taken care of” in first round layoffs, and most of the people I talk to during those times feel the same. In fact my stance on this is borrowed from several peers who had a much more philosophical perspective on their being laid off than I did about them being laid off. How can you be so calm when I’m freaking out? A decent severance definitely helps, and the prospect of not being stuck fire fighting while short staffed certainly doesn’t hurt.
