Take the Money and Run?
I work at Big Tech Co, and I recently had my "role eliminated".
I was offered 90 days to find a new role within the company, and if I can't find one I get 6 months severance.
There have been multiple rounds of layoffs at my company, so it's unclear when they would stop doing them (if ever).
Unsure if I should spend the next 90 days doing interview prep and take the severance, or try to find an internal position and hope I don't get eliminated again (with a worse severance).
I think I might already have an internal position lined up FWIW, but for anyone else who has gone through layoffs:
Should I take the severance no matter what (i.e. it's only going to get worse here)?
- mydriasis 3y agoIf you get six months' severance and find a job before the six months is up, do you get to double-dip?
- fvrghl_2 3y ago(Had to make a throwaway because of `noprocrast` on my main) Yes, I would get to double-dip.
- mydriasis 3y agoMan, I'd go for that, not gonna lie.
