The amount of layoffs the last two years is ridiculous.

My company just laid off 35 people (150ish employees) and gave them a whopping 2 weeks severance for each year that they worked there. Most of the people let go had only worked here for 1-2 years. Engineers and QA.

I was shocked when I heard that because I've always seen it as a great place to work and very forward thinking. That wasn't publicly disclosed, of course, I heard it from a manager coworker/friend.

Now I'm petrified.

Hey that was my package too, and sadly it was my best package.

Company #1, nothing.

Company #2, this.

Company #3, 1 month (TBF I was only there a year, so I guess it was as good as #2).

#2 only wins out because I had partially vested stock. But otherwise, my severance history is paltry.
