Health insurance is a commonly negotiated benefit. Ask if you can port the life insurance policy. Vision and dental insurance are often affordable for the employer. You can negotiate to extend coverage. What benefits are you interested in continuing?

COBRA Subsidy is very common to be negotiated during a layoff. COBRA allows them to continue the same medical, dental, and vision after eligibility as an employee ends. I have seen as little as 1 month and as much as 18 months of subsidy offered. Just depends on the situation.


As to Do/Do Nots, really it comes down to two things:


Be respectful
Communicate clearly

Thanks M1,this is helpful!

Hi, received an offer from another Big4 in Amsterdam (currently working in Eastern Europe), but relocating, I’m concerned about potential layoffs in the coming period being the last to join the team.

I asked for a raise and instead got laid off. Told that after looking into finances not only can they not afford a raise they cannot afford me. But I know for a fact they are replacing me with an Agency that say they can run our Social Media for 500pcm. Is this normal practice these days?

Anyone have any idea when the hiring freeze might end within AWS ProServ? I’m currently at Amazon and have a TS clearance, PMP & CSM.

Instead of leaving, I’d love to go back to my “consulting roots” and join the ProServ team. I’m taking my AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner exam next weekend. Hoping this freeze is lifted soon.
