> COBRA is the single largest expense for departing employees. Industry standard is to offer 18 months, not 6.

Are we in the same industry, where are you based? I got 2 months when I was laid off last year.

I also know many tech people who got just 1 month.

Agreed. "Industry standard is to offer 18 months"!! Please let me know this industry, because it ain't tech where I live!

It's not any industry anywhere. Any layoff thread on HN is people saying what they wish things were but framing it as "this is how everyone else does it this one company is being greedy" when it's not the case 99% of the time.
