Should I negotiate my severance? - 24 weeks in

I was offered 12 weeks of severance after 12 years as a copywriter, and I have a few days to sign. It has been weighing on me all week. There is a non-disparagement clause.

An hour with an employment lawyer cost me a small fee and made me feel much safer about signing.

Thanks for writing this out. I went through something close to it 12 months ago, and it settled down once I kept a simple log of every call and form.
