definitely different rules in different countries. Australia would be considered a middle ground on benefits... EU/Scandinavia would be more difficult due to works councils etc.In the US, employment is generally ‘at will’ with no separation packages required. When offered, they’re commonly done so as compensation for a release of claims, i.e., you agree not to sue your employer in exchange for the severance package.
The current local package has additional 4 weeks salary as non-disparagement / agreement to not file a unfair dismissal claim. Your choice whether to accept it or not.
The anonymous topics/comments on thelayoff.com are fascinating but definitely a rabbit hole of discontent!
