My experience is a months worth of your salary for every year you’ve worked there. In Germany though.

Companies don’t really care more here, but government worker protections are better, thanks to a lot of union work.
To be fair, the US also has salary expectations that are ridiculous here - we’ve had people apply from New York with NY-salary expectations that are easily 30-50k higher than normal rates here.

My experience is one week severance for each FULL year you’ve worked there. But companies are not legally obligated to give severance

Agreed. Omnicom and IPG both 1 week per year. Two weeks total if you're with the agency for one year.

Did you get laid off today?

Depends on where you’re at, but my agency was two weeks severance for every year you worked there...

Totally depends... some companies go by the book and two weeks/year is pretty much the norm. Other agencies will consider what youve contributed, your seniority, life situation etx and give months. Really depends on agency leadership and $$

I’ve gotten laid off twice. First place gave me 2 weeks/year worked. Second place gave everyone a week of pay regardless of time at the company.

💲For those who DON'T think a six figure salary is possible:

👉Just ask for it. Really, you would be surprised. Might be easier to switch to a new company and ask. I did that 3 years into my career.

And 🛑 wasting your time at a company that under-values you severely. Sometimes switching companies every 2 years or so will allow you to keep raising the bar for yourself.
