DON’T GIVE UP WHAT IS RIGHTFULLY YOURS
No one likes to get fired and usually finds negotiating a severance to be a distasteful and difficult task. You typically do not want to try to negotiate on the same day you are told that you are fired. You need to give yourself some time to process what you have heard and adjust to your new reality.
Keep the following in mind:
- Why did this happen?
- How will the company help with my finances?
- What other benefits can I expect?
- Will they offer outplacement assistance?
