Who’s negotiated severance? Any tips?
I got a remote L6 SWE offer at Google but the RSUs are too low for that level ($625k over 4 years), could not negotiate it higher. I’ve accepted the offer but trying to be hopeful that I could make it more equitable in the future if I perform well. Are stock refreshers based on the initial RSU grant or solely based on performance? Google

Hi fellow fishies!
Can someone please explain what is “SUPPLEMENTARY allowance” in my payslip??? It is the highest in my entire payslip, more than basic salary. Basic is lets say ₹7 lac annually and supplementary bonus is ₹7 lac 40 thousand.
Can someone please explain why this exists in my paylslip, is it good or bad from tax perspective and shall I ask my HR to decrease it???
Please help asap.

Non-compete requirements
Reasons for termination
What they say to future employers in background or reference checks
Unless you’re in an employer-friendly state, shouldn’t need to worry about non-competes as they are the ones ending the relationship.
Pro
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...
Unemployment eligibility
Also decide what you are asking versus negotiating for / asserting as expectations. Set the right tone for different topics.
Ask to have cobra benefits at employee rate
Pro
Would that be the current rate I’m paying now?
One time COVID-19 payout
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?
Pro
Termination — they are getting rid of my role.

Is this your exit interview or are you being let go?
