It always baffles me to think that there is no minimum mandatory severance pay in the good old US of A, but considering 6 months of salary is "great" is saying even more about how low the bar is.
Yeah, in most of Europe, 6 months would be bare minimum on top of whatever else the employee’s contract buyout requires. But since the good ol US of A is at-will and doesn’t have employment contracts, employers can just let you go without any notice or severance package.
