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

    I was offered 8 weeks of severance after 8 years as a bookkeeper, and I have a few days to sign. There are 8 people counting on me, so I am trying to be careful. I do not want to leave money on the table. Should I see a lawyer?

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

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