<prompt> Human: As title said, I was laid off recently due to reorganization of teams. I havent signed anything yet, but was offered 6 weeks pay and letter of recommendationpositive reference. Also get one more paycheck outside of offer. I was there for about 8 months.My question is, what is typical going rate for packages like this and do I have any leverage to negotiating a better deal?Edit: leverage is not the right term, I should say is it possible to negotiate better monetary offer in regards to cost of living, cobra payments, etc Edit 2: Ive never received a severance package so I have nothing to compare it to however it sounds like I am getting a good offer here Edit 3: signed the severance. Clause within paperwork said I cant apply for unemployment if I accept the package.  <response>: 6 weeks severance for only 8 months work?! Thats already an amazing deal. Or is it even more pay since you also said you get an extra week outside of the offer?At my company, Id only get 2 weeks severance for anything under 1 year of service.
