<prompt> Human: As the title says I was just informed this past week that Im being laid off. Ive been an intern at this company for 2.5 years, but they are going through restructuring and doing massive layoffs. My manager said we can talk details over the next week or two. Im wondering if I canshould push for a severance package?  <response>: Assuming youre in the US, there is no legal requirement to provide severance outside of a contract stating otherwise. So its up to the company.
