So sorry you are being impacted by this.
A few things impact successful negotiation:
- Original employment contract
- What country are you located in
- The actual severance inclusions or exclusions as dictated by regional laws
- Length of time in organization & most recent role
- Job title & amount of impact to organizational goals
- Any awards received/acknowledgement of your past contributions
- Age & gender are sometimes factored into consideration (only learned this when an older family member was laid off)
- Industry reports on current rehiring opportunities that would be available to you now.
- CoL data
Please contact an employment lawyer licensed to practice in your region, and when you schedule your FREE initial consult, be prepared with this information.
They will be the best qualified to provide you with the best negotiation strategy.
Wishing you the best of luck
I wish you the best luck and better employment opportunities in the future.
I am not sure how useful an employment lawyer will be in a situation with a well-defined severance plan.
They will definitely review your situation and details of your package and will charge you for that review.However, if everyone else in your lay off round are subject to the same well-defined rules, your chances of negotiating a better deal are not very high in my opinion.
Still, perhaps this review is going to make you feel better about the situation in the sense that it gives an honest assessment of your chances to get a better deal from a professional.
