<prompt> Human: Two weeks ago, my boss CEO of a 125 person, 60MMyear privately held company asked me to come into his office at the end of the work day. When I got there, the VP of HR was also there, and they told me I was being terminated. They didnt specifically state a cause, simply that I wasnt the right fit. I live in an at-will employment state, so they can let me go for any reason or no reason at all at any time.I was offered one month of severance, and I was given three weeks to accept the severance agreement. As is the norm, in exchange for accepting the severance, I have to agree not to sue and give up various other rights. Ordinarily, I would be inclined to accept the severance and get on with life, however in this situation, I had to deal with a challenging co-worker who actively sought to undermine my role on a regular basis. When this was brought up to my boss, he simply told me I needed to trust this individual and learn to get along. This person threatened me in the workplace more than once, something I informed the VP of HR about, however I chose not to take any action at that time. The entire situation led to a lot of emotional distress, the manifestations of which I wont go into here.Additionally, I have been employed at this company for less than a year, so terminating my employment has a significant adverse affect on my professional reputation I was part of the executive team. Less than a month prior to being terminated, Id had a performance review and was rated meets expectations. Finally, I had an instance where a colleague ironically someone from HR touched me in an inappropriate way in the workplace. This happened when I was very new at the company, and I didnt say anything to anyone in order to not rock the boat. Also, Im male, so I wasnt even sure if anyone would take me seriously, and I otherwise liked the person who did it and didnt want to create trouble.All of this is to say that I dont think that the one month pay they are offering me is adequate compensation for giving up my right to sue. However, not being an employment lawyer I have plans to speak with one, but I am also interested in what Reddit has to say, I dont know whether pushing back and asking for more severance would be a worthwhile exercise or whether they would just laugh at me because my reasons for pushing back dont have much basis.TL;DR: My company offered me one month severance. Wondering if emotional distress experienced in the workplace, damage to my professional reputation, and one instance of possible sexual harassment is sufficient basis to ask for more.  <response>: Getting a month severance from a company you worked at less than a year, its a gift. Take it and dont look back. They dont owe you it.One thing you might ask them for, ask if you can resign with the package instead of being terminated. This will look better on your resume. Company often doesnt care if they arent firing for cause.
