1) the company might not 'wants to get rid of me from their books', they might actually be doing the right thing. The fact that they gave you three months notice is very impressive. I have been let go twice, the first gave me a month notice. The second showed me the door immediately. Guess which one I felt better about?

2) Get a new job! You are never worth more than while you have a job. If you wait, you will be lucky to lose only 10%, although from what I have seen it often costs you 20 to 30%. But then again the economy is strong now.

When people ask why you are leaving, you tell them is it obvious to you the company has issues and you need to move on.

When the first company let me go, I worked hard at making sure I left good turn over information. I regret not looking for a job, but I struggled with the resume. If you struggle, get professional help, its worth it. You have 3 months to leverage a raise Tick Tick Tick....
