This kind of severance is a thing of the past.
I predict a new type of employement will emerge as a result of the late stage capitalism we are experiencing: the just in time employment. Where you are technically employed all the time but you are not paid [the same] when the corpo has you in the idle bucket. The drones will stay on for the health insurance, minimum pay, the illusion of work right around the corner. Heck, we also may have corpos form big pools of disposables that allow them to elastically scale the number of people that currently work on something up and down. Remember folks! JustInTime Employment!
- omoikane 3y ago> just in time employment Sounds like making everyone a contractor.
- pixl97 3y agoYou mean the gig economy, right?
- MichaelRo 3y agoWell a guy named SWIM got laid off not long ago with exactly this kind of severance, about 6 months left in the year + compensated for unspent time off + got to keep his laptop and monitor. Getting laid off like this was the best thing that happened in his employment history and not just to him, there was a mass layoff and people were anxious they might end up being kept :) So I completely stopped reading the story after the severance package since that paragraph completely shattered my suspension of disbelief. Any sane (and competent) person would jump at the opportunity of being laid off like this.
