Severance agreement arrived, need a second opinion (Madison)

My manager said the package is final, but the letter gives me time to review. I would rather hear the honest version than the polite one. I do not want to leave money on the table. 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.
