Educational PDF pack for the first severance window

The $39 checklist-and-script pack for laid-off tech workers before they sign

Problem

The severance number is only one piece of the package.

A tech severance package can involve cash, PTO, bonus/commission, COBRA, Marketplace timing, RSUs, options, ESPP shares, references, release language, restrictive terms, return-property instructions, unemployment, visa timing, and multiple deadlines.

If you try to hold that in your head, panic wins. The Don’t Sign Yet Pack gives you structured worksheets and scripts so you can turn the package into facts, questions, deadlines, and professional-review routes.

The goal is to leave the first severance window with fewer panic mistakes:

  • Full packet requested in writing.

  • Equity, benefits, unemployment, visa, and property-return questions captured.
  • HR conversations documented as facts, not arguments.
  • Attorney/professional questions organized before you pay someone to untangle them.

FAQ

Questions before buying

Is this legal advice?

Educational information only. Not legal advice. Not legal representation. We are not a law firm and do not review, interpret, negotiate, or advise on your specific severance agreement. Employment law varies by jurisdiction. Consult a licensed employment attorney in your state before signing or negotiating any severance agreement.

Will this tell me whether to sign?

No. It helps you organize facts, deadlines, documents, and professional-review questions. Whether to sign, decline, negotiate, or escalate is a decision to make with qualified counsel or other appropriate professionals based on your facts.

Can I upload my severance agreement?

No. This product does not collect, store, or analyze severance agreements. Do not upload sensitive documents here. Use the worksheets locally and take your documents to a licensed professional when needed.

What if I am on H-1B or another work visa?

Use the pack to capture dates and questions, but do not rely on it for immigration advice. Contact a licensed immigration attorney immediately if your work authorization depends on employment.

What if I have RSUs, options, or ESPP shares?

Use the equity checklist to gather plan documents, grant details, vesting status, exercise deadlines, and tax questions. Do not use this pack to decide whether to exercise, sell, or let awards expire. Route tax questions to a tax professional and plan/legal questions to qualified counsel.

Is there a refund policy?

Yes. If the Don’t Sign Yet Pack is not useful for your situation, email support within 14 days of purchase and we will refund the $39. No legal-document upload or explanation is required. Refunds cover dissatisfaction with the educational PDF pack; they do not turn this into legal advice, legal representation, agreement review, negotiation help, or a guarantee of severance, benefits, equity, unemployment, immigration, or tax outcomes.

Can I share this with a friend who was laid off?

Your purchase includes one personal-use license for one buyer. You may download, print, and use the worksheets for your own layoff/severance prep. You may not resell, redistribute, post, upload, share the paid PDF or download link publicly, copy it into another product, or use it for client/commercial services. If a friend needs it, send them to the free guide or product page so they can get their own copy.

Next step

Turn the severance window into a checklist, not a panic spiral.

Refund policy

Generous 14-day refund window

Yes. If the Don’t Sign Yet Pack is not useful for your situation, email support within 14 days of purchase and we will refund the $39. No legal-document upload or explanation is required. Refunds cover dissatisfaction with the educational PDF pack; they do not turn this into legal advice, legal representation, agreement review, negotiation help, or a guarantee of severance, benefits, equity, unemployment, immigration, or tax outcomes.

Rationale: fast, buyer-friendly refunds reduce chargeback risk and support a low-friction $39 purchase without weakening the legal-services boundary.

You may not resell, redistribute, post, upload, share the paid PDF or download link publicly, copy it into another product, or use it for client/commercial services.
