Add Comment Question: Worked for the company for 18yrs and was told that I was no longer the right fit for the company. Was offered 1 week to sign off on severance package equivalent to 18weeks of pay while I seek new employment. Is it worth it to take on company for further compensation? Answer: 18 weeks is nothing short of ridiculous. You would be owed likely more than 1 year of severance. Depending on your age and position, it could be much more than 1 year. Please call me as soon as possible to discuss this. Your Comment * Your Email * Your Name * Your City Note, your name, city and email is not displayed on the website.
