Hey, I understand the concern. I went through a layoff a few years back (not at Roku). From what I've heard anecdotally, Roku's severance is fairly standard tech industry fare. Usually, it's around 2 weeks per year of service, sometimes with a minimum. PTO is usually paid out, but double-check your employee handbook to confirm. Healthcare is almost always COBRA, meaning you pay the full premium to continue coverage. Start saving aggressively now; those premiums are *expensive*.
Frankly, all this worrying seems premature. Focus on doing your job well. If layoffs *do* happen, worrying about the severance package ahead of time won't change it. And frankly, constantly talking about it can be a self-fulfilling prophecy, bringing negative energy to the workplace. If you're *that* concerned, confidentially consult with a lawyer who specializes in employment law; they can give you personalized advice.
