Severance offer, what should I ask for? after 4 years as a machine operator

The company sent a severance agreement with a release of claims, and I am unsure what to do. There is a non-disparagement clause. What did you ask for?

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

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