Throwaway, long time HN participant.
Yesterday, without warning, my whole team was laid off. We didn't even get to finish the day or tidy up loose ends, document anything, etc.
After 9 years at a financial company, currently as a Quant, I am being offered only 3 weeks severance pay. When I started we were passing spreadsheets back and forth!
I want to ask for more. How does one go about this?
I received an overnight delivery with standard paperwork and I must sign to get the severance pay.
The timing could not be worse. I am a remote employee and I need to remain a remote employee. I can't relocate. I live in such a remote area that there are no jobs here. My wife and I are undergoing IVF, mortgage payments, my wife is back in school getting an RN degree with 18 months left to go. Starting to feel the stress today.
Any advice?
