Well, if you’re worth a shit, you’ll soon have a job and a fat severance check. If you can’t find a job, you probably weren’t good enough to be here anyway. The severance offered is more generous than it should have been compared to other companies, so count yourself fortunate.
And, still, I don’t need your permission to continue to hope for nice benefits while I work here. Your getting laid off doesn’t mean I should be ashamed to ask about perks in the job that I have. The world doesn’t revolve around you, and we don’t need to sit around and wait for you to get over yourself before we aak about a job that we still have.
