I have a meeting with my HR lead on Friday regarding my termination.

What questions should I ask? This is what I have so far... severance pay, health insurance benefits, PTO payout, other roles at the company, and my 401k vesting period.

Anything else I should ask/bring up?

Unless you’re in an employer-friendly state, shouldn’t need to worry about non-competes as they are the ones ending the relationship.

Ask about job placement and resume assistance as this is fairly common when being laid off.
Probably too late to ask about other roles in the company on the last day...

Also decide what you are asking versus negotiating for / asserting as expectations. Set the right tone for different topics.

You are not being terminated you are being laid off. You should get severance, cobra, cash out PTO, unemployment benefits

Ask if this is because of "the incident" and then awkwardly say that you were only joking and "not to worry about it...you probably won't be pulled in" when they get confused

Sorry to hear OP. Honestly I wouldn’t bother asking much because whatever happens will happen (pto, severance, ...). Also you may not want any other role from the same firm

Are they terminating you or you put in your own resignation?

Termination — they are getting rid of my role.

It’s so nice that every agency laying off people, have those left standing (and other agencies) trying to hustle jobs for their unemployed friends, but there are also a ton of people who were unemployed prior to Covid...so no severance, job hunting lot longer, and not earning income for longer time...hurting even MORE due to quarantine.
