Lol, severance? Did you get lost and end up in the 50s?

1 out of 3 is not most, and this data comes from 2022. I've read elsewhere that this number might be around 40-42% now, which is still not most.
It surveyed over a thousand people and had a margin of error of like 2-3%. Data isn't really a weak source and it's better than no source. Do you have anything to support your claim that most workers get severance pay besides you saying so?
A thousand? My anecdotal evidence covered more than that by just reading a news article about one tech company. I am more than willing to admit there is a huge divide between hourly and salaried employees on this subject. But given that the current news these days is about tech layoffs of salaried people, I took the cartoon to be talking about them.
Every salaried employee I know got severence when laid off. Not sure what you are on about.
I'm not saying your experience isn't valid, but that's anecdotal. Here's some data that puts that number at 1 out of 3 employers. I've read elsewhere that number may be around 40-42% now, which is still not most employers. https://www.nelp.org/publication/fired-with-no-reason-no-warning-no-severance-the-case-for-replacing-at-will-employment-with-a-just-cause-standard/
My severance is 3 months. Full salary and I don't even need to go to work
My buddy just got laid off on Thursday and got 3 months. Makes me wonder where you worked.
Everyone I've met has gotten severance.
Everyone who gets severance is a real human being, I think you're referring to so-called "people" like myself that are blue collar. Our severance is "don't let the door hit your ass on the way out, we'll make you pay to have it cleaned."
