I worked 10 years for a major telecom outfit - got laid off with zero notice. I did get offered a 90 day severance package, all I had to do was agree not to work in the field for a year.

The CEO did get a million $ bonus that year - dumping 20% of your workforce will make the profits look good - for a while.

I do project work now and ask for/get very good money. No office politics or anything else - come to work, work and then leave. Allows for some nice vacations as well.

Good for you.

90 day package in exchange for not working in the field for a whole year?
