Seeing some of the other companies they compared it to just makes them look even worse... it just means other companies will see this as a way to offer less as well. Gotta meet those industry standards!

Also if you take the severance doesn't that mean you forfit unemployment? This package is so bad if you only been there a year that i would probably say screw them and take that instead, even if its less than my pay it will definitely be more over the 6 months it's allowed which is what i thought was one of the main reasons they offer these so the company can avoid the higher rate of contribution to unemployment if enough people claim it.
