Should I negotiate my severance?

    I was offered 11 weeks of severance after 11 years as a bookkeeper, and I have a few days to sign. I do not usually post, so bear with me. There is a non-disparagement clause. Did anyone negotiate and succeed?

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

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