Plant closing and notice period questions after 14 years as an IT help-desk technician

Our team was told about a closure date that is 5 weeks away. I have read a lot of threads here and could not find my exact situation. They offered a retention bonus for people who stay. Should I stay for the bonus?

Keep everything in writing and save the confirmation numbers. It saved me later.

Start your search early. I wish I had begun the day of the notice.
