<prompt> Human: Hi. Ive been at the same company for 15 years. About 10 years ago, I relocated from the Midwest to the East Coast for a promotion, and loved it. Its been a great run. In the past year, though, the company was acquired. My family is still in the Midwest, Im pretty much done here just not feeling it anymore. Its time to move on. There have been rounds of layoffs, I have survived all of those. Anyway- long story short, I want to get back home. Ive asked about relocating back, but thats not an option. I want to ask for a severance package its a good chunk of change, but not sure what the etiquette is here. Its better for me, better for the company to get someone more motivated, and better for my family get the kids closer to grandparents, cousins, etc. Any advice?  <response>: They are not going to give you a severance for you wanting to leave the company.
