I'm really sorry to hear about the news. Usually, TI’s severance packages include a few weeks of pay per year of service, but it can vary based on your specific role and level. Definitely don't sign the separation agreement immediately. Take the documents to an employment lawyer to see if they are trying to lowball you compared to previous rounds. It’s a stressful situation, but take a breath and make sure you aren't leaving any earned benefits or vacation time on the table before you agree to anything.
That is absolutely brutal. I’ve been through a layoff at a different firm before, and the best advice I can give is to stop looking for patterns in their offers. These companies change their internal policies constantly to minimize costs during these downturns. Check your internal handbook or reach out to someone in HR you actually trust to get the hard numbers. Don’t just rely on hearsay from other employees who might be just as confused as you are. Get the details in writing and weigh your options carefully before you rush into signing.
