The thing I'm taking away from this is that the next time I get a new job I will be taking a week of vacation at my old job for the first week of my new job and only then quitting the old job. No two weeks notice, no nothing. No employer gives you huge notice in layoffs (at least in the recent rounds) and some places barely give severance. The trust relationship here is 100% broken and it cannot be fixed because in the end I will never be able to afford the legal route to vindicate my rights.
