I saw this comment and opened it expecting it to maybe just be 2 months of pay due to the Warn act. So was prepared to point out that they are not doing it freely.

But honestly yeah, at 6 months of pay and benefits. It still sucks and gettin laid off can affect you emotionally with the "why me" question. But 6 months is enough to fend off the panic that could set in.

Layoffs suck and unfortunately are just a reality, sometimes they really can't be avoided. They deserve some credit for how they are handling it.

6 months of vesting? That's a real benefit. I wish big tech had done something like that. Very generous.

Of course it would have been far more expensive for big tech to do it.

I read it's not just 6 months of vesting, it's the entirety of 2024.
