Isn't this another way of saying the severance package is generous enough to cover the time needed to find another job even in a down market?

If a severance package that covers the time needed to find a job isn't enough then it's starting to feel like we're being angry just to be angry. I don't like layoffs either (I've been laid off before) but if a company is giving 7 months of severance on what was already a very high paying job, that's very good.

I don't think that seven months is near enough to reliably cover the time it takes to find a job in this market.
