Severance agreement arrived, need a second opinion - what worked for you?

I was offered 5 weeks of severance after 5 years as an accountant, and I have a few days to sign. I am in Boston, in case local advice matters. 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.

Thanks for writing this out. I went through something close to it 4 months ago, and it settled down once I kept a simple log of every call and form.
