Severance agreement arrived, need a second opinion (Sacramento)

I was offered 9 weeks of severance after 9 years as a copywriter, and I have a few days to sign. I have been trying to stay organised about it. 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.
