Severance offer, what should I ask for? (Milwaukee)

I was offered 8 weeks of severance after 8 years as a janitorial supervisor, and I have a few days to sign. It has been weighing on me all week. It includes health coverage for a couple of months. What did you ask for?

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

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