What's Your Severance Package Look Like?
from the the-big-layoff-party-question dept
While everyone's been talking a lot about all the layoffs going around, very few have said anything about the variety of severance packages people are getting. Generally speaking, if you were at a larger company, you were much more likely to get a nice package. If you were at a small dot com, you might not even get vacation pay owed to you - or, in some cases, back wages that were owed to you. Of course, if you were an exec, even at a failing dot com, you might still expect to get a few million as an "exit package", while the rest of your laid off workers (who might actually need the money) were screwed over.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
