Today, I received notice of my layoff from my position at the company, along with a severance package that kicks in after my termination date, which is a month away. Prior to the layoff announcement, my manager encouraged me to apply for an internal role that seemed like a good fit. However, now that I'm actually considering this new position and its responsibilities, I'm having second thoughts about moving forward with it. I'm worried that if I withdraw from consideration for the internal role today, will I lose my severance package? I haven't received an offer for that role yet. I'm seeking advice on how to navigate this situation and whether it's safe to step back from the internal role without jeopardizing my severance.
