> would like to know what's the best way to protect me or, in case, the best way to obtain a fair "farewell" package... As a useful benchmark-- reach out to your former Senior colleagues who received the package during the last round (best done face-to-face over lunch or drinks). Tell them your situation, ask for any advice based on their recent experience. They may also volunteer details of their severance agreement. > my role will be diminished and I feel that my career will be damaged. This can be tricky. Sometimes it's a vote of confidence, we truly value your contributions and are trying to figure out a new role. Other times it's a signal, we wish you'd resign own your own volition. Assuming you have a cordial relationship with your superiors, ask them to tell you as neat & clean as they can-- how things stand between you. You likely already have a clue. Incidentally, restructures are often messy & arbitrary things. In 18-24 months, they may realize it was poorly executed. If you survive, you could easily be back on-top. Happens more often than you think.
