Frequently Asked Questions

How does the AI negotiation coach work?

What should I negotiate in my severance package?

Beyond the severance pay amount, you can negotiate COBRA subsidies, extended health benefits, outplacement services, favorable reference terms, modification of non-compete clauses, equity vesting acceleration, bonus proration, and the timeline to consider the agreement. Our coach can help you prioritize based on your specific situation.

How to Negotiate Your Severance Package

Most employees don't realize that severance packages are negotiable. Whether you're being laid off, terminated, or offered an early retirement package, there's usually room to negotiate better terms. The key is understanding your leverage and knowing what to ask for.

Common negotiation points include increasing the severance pay (typically 1-4 weeks per year of service), extending health insurance coverage beyond COBRA, removing or narrowing non-compete clauses, securing a positive reference agreement, and negotiating the timeline for signing.

Our AI negotiation coach helps you prepare by analyzing your specific situation and suggesting concrete strategies. For complex situations involving potential legal claims, consulting a licensed employment attorney in your state is often worthwhile. You can also analyze your severance agreement or compare your offer to market data.
