I mean, most companies do provide severance when they do massive layoffs. Usually because its required by law in that particular state, sometimes as a way to reduce wrongful termination suits, and( rarely )because it’s the right thing to do.
But severance is actually fairly common–especially when you hear about the googles, facebooks, amazons of the world doing them.
I’m pretty sure those googlers that got let go got 6 months salary + benefits.
Everyone who gets severance is a real human being, I think you’re referring to so-called “people” like myself that are blue collar. Our severance is “don’t let the door hit your ass on the way out, we’ll make you pay to have it cleaned.”
Lol, severance? Did you get lost and end up in the 50s?

1 out of 3 is not most, and this data comes from 2022. I’ve read elsewhere that this number might be around 40-42% now, which is still not most.
