Woke up to the dreaded “Conversation with X” meeting on my calendar this morning 😔 I know this question has been asked multiple times but can someone provide me a list of all of the things I should send to myself before being let go? Also, does anyone have any tips on how to negotiate for the maximum severance package? So much processing through my head right now and trying to remain level-headed to figure out the short term plan in the meantime. I have my call in the next 3 hours. Thank you!

Thank you for the help, everyone. The Fishbowl community has truly been such a supportive forum for me and it makes me happy knowing that we can help each other other out in so many ways. This news definitely came quite unexpectedly but I’m keeping my head up high knowing that I’m leaving the firm having been a strong performer till the end (top right scatterplots, full utilization, positive reviews) with an amazing network of colleagues who I know I can turn to for guidance and a variety of project experiences and roles in my back pocket 🙂
