Two nights ago I had a random meeting with the CEO, who I have a really good relationship with, added to my calendar. Thought nothing of it.

I entered the zoom call and said โ€˜so am I getting fired?โ€™

The answer was yes.

Awkward silence ensued for a minute until they started telling me about the severance package.

Side note: I can try to negotiate that severance a bit right?

Definitely negotiate that severance. What a shit deal

How do you negotiate severance? Don't you have zero leverage in that situation?

[โ€“] Dio9sys@lemmy.blahaj.zone 9 points 11 months ago

Some severance packages will have a non disparagement clause in it, or they'll say you can't recruit people to xyz competitor for a number of years. You can then say "yes I can do that, but if and only if you give me 20% extra of my estimated salary"
