Severance offer, what should I ask for? - what worked for you?

I was offered 8 weeks of severance after 8 years as a recruiter, and I have a few days to sign. There are 8 people counting on me, so I am trying to be careful. There is a non-disparagement clause.

I asked for two more weeks and a neutral reference. They agreed to the reference and added a week.

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