You won't get far on the severance package - Senior Associate Mercer Employee Review

As an internally high rated US IT employee, I have not had a base salary increase for several years, bonus pool smaller every year in the last 5 based on some contrived growth number they missed. North American colleagues that are outsourced only get one week of severance per service year. I always thought for a long term (10+ years ) employee that industry standard was twice that. Embarrassing. Hardly makes the high workload and inevitable termination worth waiting for. Stay away if you are in technology. No money here no matter talent or effort.
