I'm not sure how this is the lesson you're taking away from twitter when the workers are getting three months severance, unlike your typical service sector worker who can basically be fired by their manager on the spot. The US is a dynamic economy and your compensation is for the most part whatever you can negotiate. At the VP level it's not uncommon to get severance packages of a year or more at $200-300k, and at the C-suite level the numbers can hit millions of dollars.
