Here is what I asked for: 3 months of salary + 6 months of health care benefits in the event of a non-performance based layoff. They will haggle but it will likely be more than the standard 2 weeks most companies give you. I settled at 2 months salary and 4 months of health-care but you have to ask for this before you sign the contract.

Thank you Director. How many years of experience do you have? Additionally did they ask for i.e a 2 month notice if you decide to leave?

10 years in account mgmt. They didn't ask about advanced notice if I left but I am noticing more big agencies are asking for 3 weeks notice vs. 2

This is a thing 🤔

Why is everyone talking about a bad economy? The economy is fine. Unemployment is historically low. Inflation has backed off. No recession according to most economists. You just work for greedy assh0les.
