Facebook is laying off thousands next week. They’re getting 4 months severance and their healthcare fully paid for, for 18 months… then Cobra if needed. We get 2 weeks severance (if we’re lucky) then Cobra at the end of that month. Our industry is the f’ing worst.

My wife got a full year of severance pay and health insurance when she got laid off by her tech company.

Sadly, Tech is an exception, not the rule. Most places outside of tech get the same kind of severance packages we do. Maybe worse. Friend of mine works in finance at an accounting firm and basically has the same severance as mine.

18 months of insurance? I only got 6 when they laid me off, same as my wife.

what?

Maybe see if Facebook is hiring!
