I can tell you EY is 1 week per year, minimum 4 weeks, max 12 weeks.

EY used to be 2 weeks per year (with no cap that I am aware of), but they changed it this year.

Is this possible?

What leverage do you have?

Can you be more specific?

funny

Ask for more in a diplomatic way. Maybe inject some of a human element into the ask?

My dad was around 60 and he was laid off. My mom was sick at the time and was not working

He asked for more severance and disclosed what he was dealing with and how difficult it was for older people to find work. He was respectful but firm

They gave him more

Not your situation but never hurts to ask with reason for it
