Any word on severance packages for the August cohort?

Still trying to process everything since the 16th. I was part of the group let go in Dallas, and honestly, the communication leading up to this was just abysmal. One day it’s 'business as usual' and talking about Q3 targets, and the next, my access is wiped before I even got my personal files off my machine. I’ve been trying to compare notes with a few others who were impacted to see if the severance terms are consistent across departments. Is everyone getting the same standard package, or are they playing games with tenure and bonuses? My HR contact has been radio silent since the meeting. Just want to know if I should be calling a lawyer or if this is the standard 'take it or leave it' deal. This whole experience has left such a bitter taste in my mouth regarding the leadership team. We spent years building out these software modules only to be tossed out like we were just extra overhead. Any insight would be appreciated.

I was in the same boat during the Dallas layoffs. From what I’ve gathered talking to a few others, the severance packages seem to be tied heavily to tenure rather than role or department. It’s incredibly frustrating that they cut off system access so abruptly; I lost some critical contacts and project notes that I had been building for years. I’d suggest documenting everything you received and comparing it against your employment contract. If things don't match up, don't hesitate to push back. It feels like they really dropped the ball on transparency throughout this entire transition.

Honestly, the lack of communication is the most insulting part of this whole ordeal. One day you're prepping for Q3 goals, and the next you're effectively erased from the internal systems. I’m currently reviewing my severance documentation and it feels like a cookie-cutter offer that barely accounts for the reality of the market right now. You aren't the only one feeling lost; there’s a lot of us trying to figure out if there’s any room for negotiation. Keep pushing for clarity, because their current approach is leaving everyone in the dark while we’re trying to navigate our next moves.
