Best to talk to an employment lawyer about your specific situation. Chances are their fees will be more than covered with the additional things you’re able to get and if not, you’ll have peace of mind knowing you got a fair agreement

I negotiated to keep my computer (after they removed all the files). It was a Mac that I’ve used at work for around 3-4 years and it meant nothing for them money wise to let me have it.

Things I’ve negotiated:

Salary.
Continuation of insurance.
Non-compete stipulations.

Any “standard” is a myth. There are many factors involved. Your age, industry, the job market. Talk to an employment lawyer. Best money I’ve ever spent

If they offer you any kind of career consulting or job placement program as part of the package, ask for a cash equivalent instead.

Everything is negotiable. All they can say is no. Ask for what you deserve and feel is right for you and your living expenses/life style, until you get situated in a new role. A former employer wanted to give me three months severance including cobra, I negotiated and got six of both.

Is severance of any kind not automatically off the table if you leave on your own?

Yeah it’s a mutual agreement. You want to go, and they want you to leave, so they’ll give you something to go peacefully

So I've been at my job for 5+ years as a data analyst/back office support team. I made my way up into making a little over $40k. I've been WFH the past 2 yrs and overtime more than half my team has now been pulled out to work for a diff department which resulted in me taking 90% of our daily tasks to handle. I'm at a point where the salary I'm getting is disrespectfully low for all the work I do. Should I ask for a raise? And if so, how do I go about asking without sounding greedy.
