Severance Novels & Stories

Now I saw that was just a childish dream. "Sam." I called over my assistant, the only one who hadn't joined the mob. Sam hurried over, his eyes still red. "Asher?" "The company is dissolved, effective immediately," I said calmly. "Every employee who wasn't part of this will get three months' salary as severance. I'll cover it personally." Sam nodded. "I understand." Hearing "three months' salary," a flash of hope appeared in Karen's and Mike's eyes. "What about us?" Karen asked eagerly. "Asher, can we get severance too?"

Melody called one of the workers. "Melody" he said as the guy which I'm guessing is Simon and the other guy beside him move closer to us. "What is going on?" She asked them. 'Axel has been threatened to leave the country for pokenosing in the agency's affair' Of course I didn't say that out loud. I was only thinking it. "The restaurant has been closed. I called the boss number but it was not going through. I received an advance salary of a year this morning" Richard said.

“I’m so sorry. It won’t happen again.” “Yes, it won’t happen again because you’re fired. Come to my office and we process your severance.” “No, ma’am please. I really need this job.” “Shut up.” I knew I had fvcked up.

Each time, I smoothed it over, coaxing and negotiating until they stayed. Meanwhile, this idiot, Zachary, really thought procurement was only about making a few calls and talking a good game. I stood up slowly and met Mitchell's eyes. "Fine. Since I'm no longer needed, I'll submit my resignation. I've worked at this company for eight years. Under the labor law, the company owes me 280 thousand in severance. "I expect it to be settled in full on my last working day. Otherwise…" I paused, pulling a cold smile. "I'll see you at the Labor Arbitration Panel. I've got work to do now, Mr. Wright. By all means, see yourself out." Mitchell let out a dismissive chuckle

"Process his termination now! Get him out of here!" With that, he turned and led his people to the conference room. "You can process my termination. But if the company is firing me without cause, I'm entitled to severance pay," I said calmly. Penelope let out a sharp laugh. "You still want severance? You're lucky we're not asking you to pay damages. Just sign the papers and get out. Otherwise—" "Otherwise what? I'm not leaving. What exactly do you think you can do to me?"

At this point, arguing with a fool like her was just a pure waste of energy. I called Winona to bring over a copy of the Mutual Termination Agreement. She came jogging over a few minutes later, holding a document. Then, she glanced cautiously at Maya. I held out the agreement to Maya. "Ms. Lawson, due to your recent serious violations of company policies, spreading false information, and causing significant reputational and financial damage, you could be terminated without compensation. "However, seeing that you're young, I'll give you a chance to leave with dignity. This is your one month's salary plus an additional month's salary as severance. Sign this, and

" Gerard and Lucy immediately perked up at the mention of the severance package, their eyes shining brightly as they saw their last glimmer of hope. However, my next words shattered their illusions at once. "However, the severance pay is only applicable to the employees who didn't participate in today's rally or spread any rumors online." I then pointed at Alice, who was still on the ground, then at Gerard, Lucy, and the others. "As for the lot of you, you were organizers and active participants in this rally today, and you've seriously violated company rules while damaging the company's interest. "None of you will be getting a

The last place in the world I want to go right now is Coleman Marketing. What if I run into Nathan? My heart lightens at the thought. Even after everything, the thought of seeing him again, even in passing, makes me feel better. That’s how I know I’m not ready to go back to the office. “Can you do a direct deposit into my account?” “I’m afraid you’ll have to come in person. Company policy for these types of payments. Since they can be quite...big.” I sigh. I’m not sure how picking it up at the office is more secure than having them deposit my severance into my account. And I don’t even care about the money at this point. Kids need things like braces, and colle

“But, I can’t accept money from you.” “Consider it a severance pay,” Knox persuaded. “Severance pay?” Knox smiled. “We basically have a employer-employee relationship. If my employee retires, I’ll give them pension. So, it’s not a big deal for you to receive money from me.” “But still...” Hailey hesitated. Ten million is too much for a severance pay, right? “It’s not too much,” Knox replied. “You did a good job and I’m satisfied with it.”

“She kinda does.” My chest tightened. “What do you mean?” I asked, but I already knew I wasn’t going to like the answer. Caleb tilted his head. “I’m guessing you didn’t read the contract.” “I skimmed—” “Of course you did.” He cut me off, shaking his head. “Clause 14B. You can’t resign for the first two years of employment without paying the severance f*e.” “What severance f*e?” I croaked. “$150,000,” he said flatly. “So unless you’ve got that lying around—or unless Maddox fires you—you’re stuck.”
