[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

They won't tell you how much until you actually get it?? That's weird!!
All they told us, when the sale was official a couple of weeks ago, was that severance would be "based on tenure." They didn't give a $$ amount, like a week's salary for every year worked, or $500 for every year worked, or whatever.
We just (like 5 minutes ago) got an email that a "severance agreement and release form" will be mailed to our homes in the next 2 weeks, which we need to sign and return in order to receive our severance.
As always, I am a little boggled at how things operate around here.
t edit I don't mean I'm boggled that we have to sign and return our severance forms to receive our severance; obviously I'm on board with making everything legal. It's just weird that we aren't leaving tomorrow with some idea of what we might receive, but instead are getting something in the mail, the contents of which will be a total surprise. THAT'S the part that boggles me.
I hope it's unexpectedly generous.
As do I. Which feels mercenary as hell, and I guess it is, but I still would feel a lot better to know I had a decent emergency fund while I'm looking for my next job.

I personally think it should be wads of unmarked bills. Or maybe a briefcase full.

Steph, you deserve whatever you can pry out of them - you've been there a long time, you've worked under stressful conditions, and you haven't taken an axe to anyone.
Meanwhile, to brighten your day, there's this.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Mercenary, being informed and better able to plan for your future, decent treatment from your long time employers, WHATEVER.

Is it acceptable to tell one's employer to make it rain?
