One wrong sentence can cost you thousands.
When you’re dealing with severance, the biggest risk isn’t asking for more.
It’s saying the wrong thing (even politely) and creating “acceptance language” without realizing it.
This pack gives you measured, credible, HR-safe language that holds up in review — because severance isn’t just about what you ask for.
It’s how you ask.
The mistake is never “asking.” It’s wording.
Most people don’t lose leverage because they asked for too much.
They lose it because they’re scared to ask for more — and worried that one wrong sentence will:
make them look unreasonable
trigger defensiveness
weaken their credibility
accidentally signal acceptance
So they freeze, accept too fast, or send a message they regret later.
This pack keeps you out of that trap.
These templates help you respond with wording that is:
calm
neutral
professional
difficult to dismiss
