I'll take 4 months thanks + 1 week / year of tenure. That is a very reasonable severance.

This a Canadian company which means you can get upto 2 years of pay via the courts. This stops most lawsuits but the one month for every year standard could mean some will sue. Older workers should sue because 4 months is not enough time to find similiar work

You could be over 50 work for a month and be entitled to 9 months pay. Talk to a lawyer before you sign

it's 16 weeks severance + 1 week per year of tenure

“16 weeks severance plus a week for every year of tenure at Shopify” is what it says, which isn’t what you’ve stated there.
