Meta severance: the November 2022 source and its limits
Meta’s 9 November 2022 employee message is the selected company source for the familiar formula. A dated statement can support historical facts without establishing a current universal package.
What the November 2022 statement described
For the affected U.S. group, Meta described 16 weeks of base pay plus two additional weeks per service year, without a cap. It also described remaining PTO, six months of healthcare, three months of external career support and immigration support.
The equity statement concerned the 15 November 2022 RSU vesting event. It was not a rolling promise that every later employee would receive the next scheduled vest, nor a general three-month vesting acceleration rule.
What the source does not establish
This check does not verify that a 2026 round uses the same cash, healthcare or equity terms. Reported later terms need their own dated, addressable sources and must remain separate from company-confirmed 2022 history.
The public statement also does not establish that equity is usually the biggest loss, how much a particular award will vest or whether an offer can increase. Those questions need the actual dated offer and award documents.
Selected source checked 29 October 2026: the linked November 2022 company statement only. Current policy, later-round claims, state law and individual entitlement are not certified. The existing claim-level registry keeps its own original review scope.
Separate Amazon source context
- Amazon: its 28 January 2026 announcement described 90 days for most affected US-based employees to seek another internal role, with different timing internationally. Amazon also described severance, outplacement and applicable health support for those leaving, without publishing an individual cash formula, equity treatment or health-support duration. This does not establish a paid, non-working period or additional cash on top of severance. Amazon source check: 28 October 2026; other employer claims in this article were not rechecked in this update.
This paragraph retains the separate Amazon source review; it does not establish a matched current employer ranking.
Questions for the actual documents
A dated public announcement cannot establish an individual offer. Useful items to record separately include:
- The event, country, employment-end date and any separate internal-search or notice period.
- The stated cash amount and payment timing, distinct from earned wages or benefits.
- Award-specific vesting conditions and the treatment of unvested equity, bonus and unused leave.
- Health-support payer, amount, duration and conditions.
- Signing dates, restrictions, release language and questions for a licensed employment attorney.
This article does not determine legal eligibility, whether terms can change or what an employer will offer. The equity overview, WARN overview, age-related review questions and unemployment overview are separate general resources, not a review of this agreement.
Educational assessment, not legal advice. For advice on your specific situation, consult a licensed employment attorney in your state.
Keep the site model separate
The free calculator uses disclosed product assumptions for salary, service, industry and role. It does not implement this employer's historical package or verify current policy. Bonus, equity and benefits are outside its base cash range.
These figures are estimates, a starting point, not a final figure. Your actual package may be higher or lower, and negotiation can move an offer in either direction, including not at all.
The assessment questionnaire organises terms and unknowns supplied in answers. Its free summary offers a model comparison when a reported offer has a usable amount, or preparation topics otherwise. The optional paid report adds a detailed terms record and educational explanations; it does not review an uploaded agreement or predict a negotiation result.
Add your details
Put the company context against your own details.
Company pages provide background. A model estimate does not verify an employer's policy or agreement; the assessment organises the details you report. In about 6 minutes, organise reported terms and unknowns. Cash comparisons depend on the details provided; without an offer, the focus is preparation. The free summary has an optional paid report with a saved record and self-completed resources.
SeveranceCalc is not a law firm and does not provide legal advice. Our calculators and reports are educational estimates only. Only a licensed employment attorney in your state can advise you on your specific legal rights.
