I received 40 weeks severance from BBDO after working there for ten years. (I did have to threaten them with a lawyer.) I got six weeks severance from my last employer. I worked there 18 months as a contractor and one year as a staff employee. It's not all that bad this side of the river. Paul On Apr 5, 2007, at 6:54 PM, Adam Maas wrote:
