Anyone have advice on negotiating their severance package? I’m a senior associate. My package is work 75% until October 1 then severance/website time for 3 months until December 31. I want to try and get an extra month as hiring activity picks up in January. Any success negotiating extra severance time? How did you do it?

Did you ask if you can get website time until January or what if you need additional time to land a position? Also what if you don’t meet 75% or is 75% the pay until October?

I have! I brought up the timing, and sucked up, and was incredibly nice and personable in the meeting, and basically buttered everyone up as hard as humanly possible. You are asking them for a favor. You are definitely going to sign the release so don’t go into it like a negotiator, go into it like you are asking your distant relative for a big $ favor, because that’s the closest analogue

They want a release? What does that look like? Sorry I’ve never heard of push out process really look like this with a release.

I feel like this is pretty good already? If the 75% work req isn’t strict then it’s almost like you’re getting 6 months of severance already?

The training is non existent, there doesn’t seem to be any initiative to invest in new hires, my manager scolds me for not knowing enough yet gives no direction. I don’t want to waste time (colleagues mentioned it doesn’t get much better from here). Do I embrace the suck or look for other opportunities?
