Can I negotiate severance or is it set in stone?

Sorry to hear that.... I’ve been there and you’ll get through it.

If they still need you to finish up projects or stay on for a particular amount of time you might have some leverage... otherwise you should check laws in your area. I believe 2 weeks per years worked is standard.

I was laid off just before the holidays years ago. While I had a lot of practical things to worry about, it was strange and wonderful to spend time with family without the dark cloud of work hanging over me. It was a nice Christmas and everything worked itself out the following year. Just prepare yourself for change: a move to a different city, a shift in career, etc.

I know this is a little bit of an older post but I just did a search on severance and came across it. Does anyone have any recommendations for severance lawyers in NYC (that aren’t too expensive?)?
