I'd like to think if I moved across the country to keep a job like that, that'd I'd demand something like a 2+ year contract with an exorbitantly high severance package pre-negotiated.

If it's that or get fired, may as well try, not worth uprooting for otherwise

Probably not the thing everyone thought about before the layoffs became a thing. Also probably not what a company is going to agree to, but that may even be a good thing because good riddance

I'm being offered a position right now, and I just don't think they get this part of it. I'm not moving house 4000mi into an at-will state just to get turfed in month 9.

Yeah, so no. I love my current spot wayyyyy more.
