FINAL UPDATE : I have been surplussed! Getting everything I wanted and then some, in terms of a benefits/severance package. WOOT WOOT!!
So was it more than the 28% annual salary then? Why so happy?
Nope that figure stayed the same. The biggest news is that we get a 60-day grace period. Many of us thought it would be no more than a couple weeks, or even less.
We are getting payed for unused vacation (I've got a bunch saved up). We are getting pro-rated bonus's (thought we would forfeit). Get to keep the company health plan for a decent amount of time. Plus, though I guess I should have known it was coming, we get to draw unemployment.
I'm also extra happy because some folks were forced to accept a lateral moving position and denied the voluntary severance all-together. I would have been quite upset to get stuck with that offer.
