Personally I don't think it's a good idea to assume your manager is your best ally, because FWIW the layoff could've come from him/her - especially if your manager did not give you any hints about this coming soon. That said, severance is 100% negotiable and don't let anyone tell you otherwise - I've been in this position myself and managed to raise it from 4 weeks to almost 16.

Can you share more details on how you approached asking your manager for help? You mentioned telling them that you signed a lease etc. Did you directly ask them to advocate for you in your negotiation?

I'm thinking of hiring a lawyer so I know what is going on.

5:30...how is your mom able to prove that the company is eliminating her role to hire a new younger cheaper person? usually company are very discreet about this because like you said they can be sued for ageism. so i called bs on this story.

Not much useful content here other than negotiate. No specific tactics or reactions.
