STOP. Don't Sign Anything Yet. | The HR Insider's Exit Guide to Severance Agreements, Layoffs & Exit Negotiations

You weren't called into that meeting by accident.

If HR is in the room, a manager is sitting beside them, and a document is slid across the table, don't let pressure make the decision for you.

Don't sign anything yet.

After more than 30 years in Human Resources, I've sat on both sides of the table. I've seen what employees miss, what companies rarely explain, and how one signature can cost someone thousands of dollars in pay, benefits, and future opportunities.

This book gives you the conversation most employees never get. You'll learn what a severance agreement really means, which rights you may still have, what questions to ask before you sign, how to negotiate with confidence, and the costly mistakes to avoid.

Whether you've been laid off, terminated, asked to resign, or simply handed paperwork you weren't expecting, this guide will help you slow down, understand your options, and protect your future.

One signature can change everything. Read this first.
