Elimination of position
Hello everyone, I am in a tough spot and I am looking for a bit of guidance in case some of you have faced a similar situation.
I was recently informed by HR that my position is being eliminated following a restructuring exercise. The conversation was very vague in terms of why my position is no longer considered needed – I am in mid-level management. However, they made it clear that they are looking for a different skill set and I wasn’t even told what the new position will be or ask to consider applying for it.
It’s been a couple of weeks since I was made aware of what will happen and I have already been applying for different positions since it feels like I can be let go on any day now. I am meeting with my boss soon and I am wondering how to bring up the conversation of a severance package? Should I start this conversation with my boss directly or with HR? To be honest, I am disappointed in the way my boss handled the situation because he never gave me any clue that something like that was going to happen until the meeting was scheduled with HR and even then, he let HR do all the talking. What severance package could I realistically ask for or what I can realistically expect to get? I have been working for the company for a few years making $100k.
Sounds like they didn’t offer a severance package but rather you want to ask for one? Think about more than just money, what about health insurance (can you get that somewhere else?). Do you have some special skills/knowledge that they wouldn’t want you taking to a competitor? It is worth a shot, but the fact that they didn’t offer you a severance package up front means it will probably be hard to negotiate one.
Here are some tips:

i’m surprised that they didn’t give any specifics on likely termination date, but not at all surprised that HR did all the talking.
as far as a severance package, i would probably ask that question of HR…it’s never a given that a termination of employment leads to any sort of severance, but it’s certainly worth asking, and it would have to go through HR even if they are not directly deciding whether, or how much, to grant you…you might also consider asking for more specifics, such as when your termination date might be (although, tbh, this next conversation with your boss could answer those questions for you anyway, ie: this could be your termination meeting)
