Silly question for anyone laid off…

Has anyone been able to successfully negotiate severance extension?

I was 12 business days short of another 2 weeks, tried to file a claim with employee relations for a bridge and was told it's not possible - no extensions, no exceptions.

I think it depends on your pay grade. They follow the chart for lower grades, but 32+ may have some opportunity

I got 11 weeks too and that didn't carry me to my next job. I feel bad for lower bands who get 5 weeks in this job market.

Not a silly question at all...I think sadly you cannot. I was there 3 years and I was a 29..you get 11 weeks.
