I don't get this sentiment that's been picking up around here, the company literally does not have to provide you severance, and in this case it's 16 weeks pay.

I don't get this sentiment that's been picking up around here, the company literally does not have to provide you severance, and in this case it's 16 weeks pay. That's 4 months to find another job, and you're being paid to do it! Companies aren't these charitable job factories you make them out to be, they're trying to make money. And in this case, they messed up. Any ideas what they should have done better? I mean I guess personally 10 years pay would be nice, wouldn't it?

I thought companies had to provide 60 days warning (the WARNS act?), so half would be the minimum required by law. Or they could notify people of layoffs 60 days ahead, giving people ample time to look for new jobs, plan accordingly, perhaps leave early AND give severance (which was the original intent of the law I expect).
