Were I come from 4 months is the bare minimum. To be fair, you do not get your full salary but a reduced amount; however depending on the conditions that can extend up to 2 years.

Difference here is that it is not the company itself paying you that money but it is rather a government system which is payed directly by the workers.

It’s a system which is not advantageous if you never lose your job, since you have to pay for it regardless; but comes very handy if you ever end up needing it.

The company also has to pay you 20-33 days of salary for every year you’ve been working there.

I’ve read through just out of curiosity. The severance package is:

  • 16 weeks of pay
  • 1 week of pay for every year worked at the company
  • healthcare insurance until the end of the year
  • 1500$ to buy a laptop

Is this common in the US? This really feels like nothing. I do not know whether there are other remunerations funded by the government, but 4 months of pay after being laid off really is not very much.

Is this company paying out a very small sum to their employees or is it common to give very little money to fired people?

There are valid reasons to use an MIT license. Why do you care how someone else licenses their own code? Write your own code and license it how you prefer.

GPL was designed as a virus to end the existence or viability of copyright law. I do appreciate the idea, and plenty of my code is licensed as GPL or comparable copyleft license. Also, plenty of my code is licensed under more permissive licenses, as that is sometimes more appropriate for that code to be useful.

Do I care someone makes money out of code originating from what I wrote? I do not. Do I care whether they give me their modifications to such code? I do not.

No reason to hate on MIT license. It has its uses.

You just linked to an article which says one guy told another newspaper genz is dumb. Then you go to the other newspaper and they link the piece of research which he presented not to a peer reviewed journal but rather to the Senate. The whole piece of research consists of 7 pages.

I’m sorry man, I was underestimating how much smarter is genz than previous generations…
