    I was offered 5 weeks of severance after 5 years as a teaching assistant, and I have a few days to sign. It includes health coverage for a couple of months. Did anyone negotiate and succeed?

    Thanks for writing this out. I went through something close to it 2 months ago, and it settled down once I kept a simple log of every call and form.

    Ask for the offer in writing and do not sign on the spot. A day or two to think is normal.
