Severance offer, what should I ask for?, line cook here

The company sent a severance agreement with a release of claims, and I am unsure what to do. There are 14 people counting on me, so I am trying to be careful. I do not want to leave money on the table. Did anyone negotiate and succeed?

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

Thanks for writing this out. I went through something close to it 11 months ago, and it settled down once I kept a simple log of every call and form.
