I was laid off today and I'm feeling a bit lost. I need some guidance regarding severance pay since I was still on probation. Am I even eligible for anything? I'm unsure how to negotiate this or what documents I should gather. If anyone has experience with this, especially regarding local laws or what to expect, I would really appreciate your advice. I've heard that severance isn't always guaranteed, and it varies by state, so I'm trying to figure out my next steps.
