Look, I'm not saying anything *is* happening, but with the current market, it's always good to be prepared. Can anyone who's been through a layoff at Roku share details about the severance package? Specifically, how many weeks per year of service? Is unused PTO paid out? What about healthcare coverage continuation? Trying to get my ducks in a row just in case.

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.
