Two nights ago I had a random meeting with the CEO, who I have a really good relationship with, added to my calendar. Thought nothing of it.
I entered the zoom call and said ‘so am I getting fired?’
The answer was yes.
Awkward silence ensued for a minute until they started telling me about the severance package.
Side note: I can try to negotiate that severance a bit right?
-
Definitely negotiate that severance. What a shit deal
-
How do you negotiate severance? Don't you have zero leverage in that situation?
-
Some severance packages will have a non disparagement clause in it, or they'll say you can't recruit people to xyz competitor for a number of years. You can then say "yes I can do that, but if and only if you give me 20% extra of my estimated salary"

Urgh yeah I had one of those. A "small quick meeting" that makes you think they just want an informal update. Nope, its the getting fired talk. Still, turned out to be a blessing.

Mine sucks because it’s the best job I’ve ever had. Planned on staying as long as they’d keep me (just under 5 years it turns out) and had no plans at all to even poke around at other roles.
The silver lining is I’ll prob get a nice pay increase since I’ve been pretty underpaid at this place as it’s an NPO.
