Looking for advice on this situation. Laid Off With 2 Weeks Severance After 8 Years - Can I Negotiate More? Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.
Details: I'm in a situation where I need to understand my legal options. Has anyone dealt with something similar?
Don't resign — that weakens your leverage. Let them fire you if it comes to that. A wrongful termination claim is stronger than a constructive dismissal claim.
From an HR perspective, this is exactly the kind of situation that triggers EEOC complaints. Most companies will settle to avoid the investigation costs.
I went through something similar. The key is to act quickly — statutes of limitation are shorter than you think. My attorney took it on contingency and we settled for a decent amount.

Good discussion. Tagging this for the resource library.
Update: Thanks everyone for the guidance. I consulted with an attorney and we're moving forward. The advice here helped me understand what questions to ask and what to expect. Will update when there's a resolution.
