[NC] Is 4 weeks severance normal after failing a PIP halfway through?
I have been at a mid-sized company for a little over 3 years. I was put on a 30-day PIP with no prior written warnings. After about 2 weeks, things escalated and they offered me a "mutual separation" with 4 weeks severance.
Basically, I failed the PIP due to me skipping a meeting to apply for jobs. A coworker ratted me out to my manager. I take full accountability for this egregious mistake. I learned my lesson and will no longer trust coworkers with privileged info again.
I raised concerns about the PIP process, including its timing shortly after an approved medical accommodation. I also belong to multiple protected classes.
Is 4 weeks typical in this situation, is it extraordinarily rare, or should I try to negotiate higher? Any advice on what’s reasonable? Should I talk to a lawyer to pursue the discrimination angle?
