Did anybody try to negotiate their severance?

Is that a possibility?

@xh a lawyer may help. However, they normally charge a flat fee ( hundreds to low 1000+) to review and negotiation , then another 30-40% of additional pay negotiated. And there isn’t large negotiation room unless you want to take the litigation route.

I tried and had an open case with the ethics and people team about retaliation against me. They said no. I am also a protected class. The person managing the case even said they had taken action but because I am no longer an employee I could not know anything about it.

It’s possible if you have some evidences of discrimination or retaliation. But don’t expect much unless you are willing to go through lengthy and stressful litigation

If you are in a protected class or two (minority, 40+, female, etc) with no previous performance issues, you might have a better chance. It might get you another month on payroll. If your severance letter says “due to a reorganization”, it can’t hurt to try. Dont dig your heels in and forgo the severance though.
