The fact that people think, they have an upper hand in negotiations when the employer can just say NO to anything you say and hand you the basic severance papers, is unbelievable. The employer can literally say "If we let you get away with free healthcare we have to give all 4000 other fires free healthcare, so no". Same reason you cannot "Negotiate" your way out of a ticket the cop is writing to you. Just accept it, be sad for a day or two and move on. Unpopular opinion but weren't we meant to be replaceable when we are employed? Who in the world told us that we are not replaceable and we get replaced why do we be sad? Even CEOs get replaced.
