Considering Baker is doing mass lay-offs across U.S. land this may fall under the WARN act where they have to give you 60 days notice or equivalent pay. Baker gives you 2 weeks notice/pay as for the notice and you acknowledge this if you sign the severance package. So if the WARN act does apply you waive your rights if you sign your package. Definitely something to look into and ask your HR rep and personal attorney that may be familiar with labor law.
