Could anyone walk me through what typically occurs during a layoff notification call with HR/talent? I’m particularly concerned about the document signing timeline. As someone over 55, I understand I’m legally entitled to a 21-day review period under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA) before signing any severance agreement. What are the practical implications of taking the full 21 days — does it affect anything in the process?

How long did you work for them ? 6 months. 6 years, etc…. Tenure will matter to squeeze some more out of them.

What are your concerns about the separation agreement? If that’s the law, it’s the law, but good to understand your specific worry here.

This was my timeline. I was notified on Jan 9 that my last day would be Jan 31. I was given a 2 page document that outlined my severance info. On my last day, I had a call with HR and received my exit agreement. They didn’t pay any severance until I signed it. I had until Feb 20 to sign. It basically said I release all claims and won’t say anything negative about the company or its executives and I won’t discuss the agreement or my separation terms with anyone in or out of the company. I signed it and got my severance the next week/
