Is there somewhere I can look it up?

Comcast does not publicly disclose its severance policy and keeps the details closely held. I have reviewed the policy in the past, and the following is a high-level summary of how it generally works. The calculation is based on factors such as employee level, compensation, exempt vs. non-exempt status, and tenure.
The policy provides a base severance amount that varies by employee level and compensation. For example, an employee may receive a base severance of 16 weeks, which remains the same for anyone with between one and three years of service. After three years, employees receive an additional week of severance for each year of service beyond the third year. As an example:
5 years of service: 16 + 2 = 18 weeks
10 years of service: 16 + 7 = 23 weeks
The base severance amount increases with compensation and job level. Examples include:
Director earning more than $175,000 annually: 35-week base
5 years of service: 35 + 2 = 37 weeks
10 years of service: 35 + 7 = 42 weeks
Director earning approximately $125,000 annually: 24-week base
Manager earning approximately $90,000 annually: 16-week base
Non-exempt/hourly employees: lower base severance amounts (exact figures not available)
For executives working under employment contracts (typically SVP level and above), severance is often either individually negotiated or calculated using the same framework and then enhanced, commonly by approximately 50%.
I do not have the exact figures for every employee category, but this reflects the general structure and methodology of the severance formula.
I got 16 weeks when division layoffs happened as well. I had only been at the company for 14 months.
I'm not sure what they are doing for these smaller layoffs
Was offered 16 weeks when divisions went bye bye
@OP who is getting a severance
2 weeks for every year at Comcast is the severance
