don't think 2 months is generous
What's your baseline and where are you getting it? At least compared to the statutorily mandated amount of 0 days, and what companies typically give out (eg. 1-2 months), it's pretty good.
For a mass layoff, the statutorily mandated minimum amount is actually 2 months.

>US corporations have become so large, they have started to function internally not unlike the fully fledged managed economies of the USSR The important difference you're missing is that unlike china or the USSR, there are competitors you can jump ship to (eg. Lenovo or HP), and Dell can't send you to the gulag for disagreeing with them.
But they can deny you severance payments if you say anything bad about them. Not all companies do this, but enough that it makes the analogy to China or the USSR more appropriate
hey the economy is doing great, what you are feeling is a "vibecession". Don't look at the hundreds of thousands of tech employees fired in the past 2 years.
But are you saying we should only pay attention when layoff happens, ignoring a long period of significant growth?

I'm not finding any legal difference in the US. What difference do you know of?
If you're fired with cause, no severance, else, severance. It is quite common knowledge.

US corporations have become so large, they have started to function internally not unlike the fully fledged managed economies of the USSR. A bunch of MBAs acting as petty dictators hiring and firing at will, driven by nothing more than a few financial indicators and their intuition, i.e. they are making it up as they go, just like Stalin and Mao were doing back then.
You couldn't easily fire in USSR, not a good analogy. US corps look more like feudal kingdoms of the middle ages with serfs.
Feels like we are about to get a new wave of large layoffs. Things like Intel last week and Berkshire Hathaway sells off... Brace for impact!
