more than i expected. sad, right?
Per WARN Act aren't they required to provide 60 days to everyone?
Just to the government.
Typically, tech companies get around warn through garden leave, meaning you're employed and paid for 60 days but not able to actually work. Then, at the end of 60 days, warn is posted and severance is distributed. Is that what you're referring to?
Yes, and no. From my experience it was done slightly differently.
They gave the paycheck for 60 days + additional severance (which was additional 1 month if you signed that you won't sue) as one lump sum and saying that there's 3 months severance.
I think the only difference between first two and this month was that I think there was still medical insurance for the 60 days.
