I got a question about severance and new job. Some companies (like mine) will ask you to report new job and they will cut severance (monthly salary). If so, how do you deal with that? Many of my previous co-workers told me they just lied and the company never checked (all verbal or writing).

That doesn't sound right. Granted, severance is not mandatory for an employer and they can choose to give you nothing when letting you go. Although, asking about your new job and salary doesn't sound legal. All that said, if I were an employee, I wouldn't lie in any case. I'd like to keep my hand clean, which would save me if the crap hits the ceiling.
