What is a typical severance package these days? Also, can I volunteer to be laid off?

WD also gave me use of a service that helps with your resume, interviewing skills, etc. That service actually made my resume a lot better. They said to rewrite my resume by bullet-pointing accomplishments instead of just a long list my duties in previous jobs. Plus some other tricks that have worked. Also, when I have issues with my job search, a counselor will meet with me (I've met once. It was a good meeting). They have some online classes (I've taken a couple) and live classes in Irvine (I'll probably take a couple). At first I didn't think I'd use the service, but it's been pretty helpful.
4 weeks for 0-4 yrs service, 8 weeks for 5-9 yrs, etc. No ICP though, everyone got screwed this period on bonuses.
8 weeks base + 1 week per year. 1 week bonus for every 5 years.
One week per year of service, this is a general rule of thumb
