On: Update on Hiring Plans

> We will apply our generous severance philosophy to offset the financial impact of this decision.

What does that mean for people who accepted but have not started?

[vrkr → tqi]

2 months pay

[pvarangot → vrkr]

That's generous? I've been through two RIFs and countless hiring freezes some with rescinding offers in big name companies, startups and "unicorns" and it was always at least that or more.

If this is true, they -really- should say so publicly. The situation sucks, but 2 months of pay would make it a lot better, at least for me.
