Severance agreement arrived, need a second opinion - 10 months and counting

The company sent a severance agreement with a release of claims, and I am unsure what to do. There are 5 people counting on me, so I am trying to be careful. It includes health coverage for a couple of months. What did you ask for?

An hour with an employment lawyer cost me a small fee and made me feel much safer about signing.

Read the release carefully. Mine included things I did not expect, like a non-compete.
