Has anyone consulted an employment lawyer to review their severance package/details, and if so, is it worth it?

So there is a severance policy, did none of the people laid off get it?
F Cigna and their severance. File an EEOC claim. If you have proof or have been told things that are illegal report this information to EEOC. Particularly the hiring process at Cigna with H1B preference over Americans could lead to significant discrimination lawsuits.
If there is a policy that says they pay severance, and you have a copy, they owe it.
Don’t waste your time! Take the package and move on to the next opportunity !
You gonna end up with nothing.
Cigna isn’t obligated to pay ANY severance.
If the cost of the lawyer exceeds what the lawyer will find, then its not worth it. So unless you have a very compelling reason to believe they can get you back more than the cost of using them, its not worth it.
I was laid off before (not this company) and I read through and liked the severance package. Could not find anything unreasonable about it. I signed it and moved on with my life and pocketed a nice chunk of change.
