Only 8 weeks of severance? Didn't Salesforce give 5 months?

Seriously?? This is why I think layoffs in tech are needed. Spoilt brats. 8 weeks is a luxury no other industry offers. By law it's actually 1 week per year and this doesn't even have the WARN law behind it

> H1B's given extra 4 months on payroll

Dumb question but is this like they are employees on paper or are they also getting paid for those 4 months?

Just on payroll. The amount of severence is the same as non h1b's. It just gives them more time to find another job (i mean take another job away from a qualified US citizen)

Unfortunate typo.
