Severance Package Q - Non-US Employee Perspective?

Hey everyone, I'm an engineer working for Adobe outside the US (Europe), and I'm trying to get a handle on what to expect if the worst happens and layoffs do occur. I've been reading a lot about severance packages in the US, but I know things are very different here. Does anyone have experience with Adobe severance packages in Europe, or know what the standard is? I'm particularly interested in knowing about the notice period, payment in lieu of notice, and continued health insurance benefits. Any insights would be really helpful. I need to know what my rights are and what to expect.

I'm in a similar boat, also in Europe. From what I've heard from former colleagues who left Adobe (though not necessarily through layoffs), the notice period usually adheres strictly to local labor laws. Payment in lieu of notice is also common, but it depends on the specific circumstances of your departure and the agreement reached. Health insurance continuation is less likely to be a standard part of the package here, but it's worth clarifying with HR or your manager. Don't rely on US severance info!

Honestly, I wouldn't get your hopes up too high. Adobe, like many large companies, will likely do the bare minimum required by law in your country. Focus on understanding your local labor laws *first*. That's your baseline. Any additional benefits they offer are icing on the cake. Start preparing now by updating your resume and networking. Being proactive is the best defense against the uncertainty of potential layoffs. Best of luck.
