- high guaranteed severance (~3-5 months of salary), then benefits that quickly decrease from pretty good to rather bad for 1.5 years;
- lower severance (1-2 months of salary), then high benefits for one year (nearly full pay), then low benefits for a few months.
In either case, you get ~1 year of the same health care coverage as you had before layoff, then you get downgraded to cheap health care coverage.
Still highly stressful, though.
