Take the Money and Run?

4 pointsby fvrghlover 1 year ago
I work at Big Tech Co, and I recently had my &quot;role eliminated&quot;.<p>I was offered 90 days to find a new role within the company, and if I can&#x27;t find one I get 6 months severance.<p>There have been multiple rounds of layoffs at my company, so it&#x27;s unclear when they would stop doing them (if ever).<p>Unsure if I should spend the next 90 days doing interview prep and take the severance, or try to find an internal position and hope I don&#x27;t get eliminated again (with a worse severance).<p>I think I might already have an internal position lined up FWIW, but for anyone else who has gone through layoffs:<p>Should I take the severance no matter what (i.e. it&#x27;s only going to get worse here)?

Usually, this kind of company is just going worse and worse. The atmosphere will be shitty. And good luck getting a raise, a budget for something or have your laptop renewed.<p>It&#x27;s usually better to go somewhere else and find a place where you will feel better and less insecurity.

If you get six months&#x27; severance and find a job before the six months is up, do you get to double-dip?
