I got laid off today from my position at a non-profit organization. HR called me this morning to inform me of a "no fault" termination. I had a feeling this was coming, as I had been feeling increasingly sidelined in the workplace. I've only been with the organization for less than a year, and they offered me one month of severance pay. I'm contemplating whether I should counter their offer and ask for more severance, or if that would be a waste of time given my short tenure. I've read that many companies only offer two weeks of severance for each year worked, so I might be lucky to get anything at all. I'm also planning to file for unemployment benefits today, as I know it can take a while to find a new job these days. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
