Tell your CC. Why would you want to screw your own employment history and burn bridges with one of the global big firms, just for a petty package...Think longer term, and be a nicer person.

You don't deserve a severance package - you made a choice to leave - you will get unused PTO - agree with others - your thought process about this is messed up.

IBM1, what's that? I don't think ACC has that?

A2, going back for my JD so I don't think I'll be coming back to consulting.

This is sad op

How many years have you been with the firm?

3 yrs. currently a consultant level

OP at the end of the day is your call. Not returning to consulting is one thing, but you will still have employment record of being fired. Also why would you want to bring trouble to your new CC for just a little bit of money? Do you hate him/her and the firm that much? I wish you a great career with a JD, but I am hoping you won't become a lawyer with an attitude of "money always comes first"...

That's messed up yo

Do you take the current economy into consideration when receiving job offers? For example you receive a good offer from a company like Meta/TikTok but are hesitant because they could be laying off soon or rescind an offer versus a lower offer at a more traditional and stable company that tends to be less reactionary with regards to layoffs? Not my current scenario but just curious. I would like to make a move from current employer but this economy has me spooked.

My criteria: mesh seat and back, arms, headrest

I tried cheap ones from Amazon. Expensive, second hand gaming chairs. Tried HM Aeron (second hand) and while I didn't like the bulk and the general design, I was sold on the mesh seating. I wanted to get the ErgoChair 2 from autonomous, but it doesn't have mesh seat.
