I was laid off 2 months ago with thousands of coworkers and I’ve never even seen a severance letter let alone been offered severance.
Regarding Twitter’s reduction in force, unfortunately there is no choice when the company is losing over $4M/day. Everyone exited was offered 3 months of severance, which is 50% more than legally required.

@LondonBreed Can we get an investigation into this? A local employer is violating employment law

What’s Bezos offering?
Amazon is laying off more than 17,000 workers, a significantly bigger number than previously planned, the WSJ reported trib.al/C6m6fXj

Aren’t there California laws in place that requires severance when a layoff of that size happens?

There are no requirements for severance pay under the Fair Labor and Standards Act (FLSA). An example of when severance pay may come into play is when employers require employees to sign a release preventing them from pursuing any legal action against the business in the future.
