It seems like there is not really a benefit to Nielsen to negotiate since they are already offering 2wks/3wks per year, health care coverage, and outplacement services. I spoke to someone from Jan layoff who said any negotiation will only delay your package and probably won't be successful.

This is correct, you have to inform them of your new job, which does not give you the full severance package they offer up front. Not to mention that the severance package is not on par with the industry average. This specially affects people that have had a long stay with the company.
depends on if ypu have another job already lined up. take a one lump payment then. get more. otherwise you are required to tell them you have a new job and they tirn off remaining weeks.
Has anyone ever tried following this guy's advice?

The severance means you give up your rights. Be careful about taking the severance if you have a claim against Nielsen. Talk to a lawyer if this is the case.
If you plan to file with the EEOC because Nielsen has discriminated against you before being laid off, you are allowed to decline the settlement and go with the EEOC process.
