They founders took responsibility and cut their salary so you could stay? They said they took responsibility took the credit for tough choices and fired you. Now you have 16 weeks / 4 months to get another position when no one is hiring and interviews take 2 months on average before the offer is pulled.

Depending on employees age, length of employment 16 weeks can be an extremely low amount and the courts could get a higher settlement.

1. I don’t know what their salary is but I think it’s like a dollar.

2. They talked through their decision making process in hiring at the rate Stripe did, then what changed that made them do layoffs. They were very direct that this was their choices and they owned them.

I don’t need them to weirdly punish themselves. They made a bet. They were wrong about the future. That’s fine.

I got 14 weeks which is a really long time.

What country are we talking about? The US does not offer any guarantee for severance.

If we are talking Ireland, as others have said the law appears to be exactly this.
