I'm curious if anyone's had experience negotiating a severance package up front? The kind we all bitch about executives having. I've never relocated for a job, or made a particularly sacrifice to start a job, but I always thought that if I did I'd want some agreement, as I'd be investing a great deal in that job change, and I've seen a few people get really hosed. Usually when they jump into a position that is more political than they realized. |

Nope, it isn't popular here in Texas. I tried to negotiate for severance when working with a company who had previously surprise-fired me. They were determined not to agree to any future severance or anything named severance. I ended up baking it into a higher hourly rate. In the end they paid my severance wishes many times over, in advance.
