I've worked at a company that rolled out a voluntary severance package after a big merger, but the company set the rate. 2 months guaranteed, plus 1 month of your current salary for every year of employment. A lady on my team walked away with almost 2 years salary, took 3 months off, then walked right into a better paying job with a software company.

May 13, 20205 yr My dad worked for SmallCo and was given a full severance package in 2009 after 40 years with the company. I don't know the exact details, but apparently it was about 2 years' worth of full salary. Six months later he started contract consulting for IndyCo and finagled his way into a full-time employee situation within a year. After a few months on staff, IndyCo was taken over by SmallCo. A year after that he was let go again (because old) but worked out an agreement that his previous years with SmallCo would be used to determine his second severance - another 2+ years salary. In about three years he walked away with probably the equivalent of 5 / 6 years salary.

The PetroChina Southwest Oil and Gasfield Company (SWOG) completed a successful test of prospecting for oil and gas in Tianbao Township of Daying County, which had a daily output of 1.22 million cubic meters of gas, according to the SWOG. The belt, some 130 km away from the provincial capital of Chengdu, neighbors the gasfield in the Gaoshiti-Moxi area in the middle part of the Sichuan Basin, where the current natural gas production capacity reaches 15 billion cubic meters annually. Based in Chengdu, SWOG supplies natural gas to more than 1,000 large and medium-sized industrial companies and more than 20 million households in southwest China. Enditem

May 18, 20205 yr $32.75 This makes zero sense to me, this is all sentiment right? There can't be a fundamental case for a return to these prices.
May 18, 20205 yr 2 minutes ago, BTW said: $32.75 This makes zero sense to me, this is all sentiment right? There can't be a fundamental case for a return to these prices. Well, there have been some rather drastic supply reductions, in a very short amount of time. Initial estimates were that US producers would take 1.5M barrels/day off the market by June. We've already exceeded that, two weeks into May. That, and demand is starting to improve. Reports today that Chinese traffic congestion is back to pre-covid levels. India also seeing a major uptick in demand for diesel compared to last month.
