That's actually pretty good and how it's calculated in France when you're fired (beside the "notice" period, which would more or less match the two months here in Dell annoncement): https://www.service-public.fr/particuliers/vosdroits/F987 https://www.service-public.fr/particuliers/vosdroits/F987 , and similar to what other countries here are doing. 1/4 of a month per year served up to 10 years, and 1/3 of a month per year served after the first 10 years I'm of course ignoring the whole cause of layoff, which in France is very different and can lead to majoration or to straight up remove the severance, and also here unless you're someone with years on the job the paid holidays severance is usually the largest part of the amount you get and I don't think the US has an equivalent.
