I recently experienced a layoff at my company, which involved cutting 10% of the workforce. After five years of service, I was offered a severance package that amounted to just one month of pay for each year worked. Honestly, I found it quite pathetic. I'm at a point in my career where I'm not living paycheck to paycheck, and I'm contemplating whether to refuse the severance in order to speak out against the company. I'm curious if anyone else has taken this route and what the outcome was. Would it feel satisfying to damage their reputation, or would it just come off as petty? I work in a large industry, but the connections are tight-knit, so I wonder how my actions would be perceived. Has anyone gone on a 'besmirching tour' after a layoff? I’d love to hear your thoughts.
