That's a pretty weak source. It reeks of bias and it also seemed to target fast food and gig economy workers. Not exactly who we are discussing in this thread.

Salaried people from large organizations typically, most of the time, get severance during mass layoffs.

We arent talking about Lyft deactivating drivers.

It surveyed over a thousand people and had a margin of error of like 2-3%. Data isn't really a weak source and it's better than no source. Do you have anything to support your claim that most workers get severance pay besides you saying so?

A thousand? My anecdotal evidence covered more than that by just reading a news article about one tech company. I am more than willing to admit there is a huge divide between hourly and salaried employees on this subject. But given that the current news these days is about tech layoffs of salaried people, I took the cartoon to be talking about them.
