Tell them to take their severance and shove it. Walk right out and claim UI. No sense in letting them slavedrive you for 2 months. Don’t help them out. They will just ask for copious documentation and have very unrealistic expectations for you. Opt out.

Breathe. I was part of the June/July 2023 layoffs. I took that severance and landed a much better and higher paying job in August with sign on bonus. I’m happier than ever. Keep the $$$
yeah, who cares about paying your bills and keeping your home in such an awful job market.
UI is a fraction of your pay... This is d-mb. Also you still qualify for UI later after sev.
Take the severance, you can take unemployment once the severance runs out. Do both.
Wonder if the OP knows how little Unemployment pays?

Based on last year if you’re a FTE in engineering you got 3 months severance, ended work immediately and got a bonus payout.
If It looks like that I say get as much money as you can from them. This forum is always about this anxiety riddled scorch earth stuff. Don’t leave money on the table.
relax , think and decide
so you'd take less money from the company? lol
