I got 30% of my last paycheck and 10% of my "Stay-on" bonus.
I agree with everything you said, and it's business 101. Sometimes you have to pay more to keep folks than you really want to, especially when times are bad and things are really tight.
Re that comment, I gather you did not get the compensation you were promised?
My rule of thumb is, when the accountants start the evac, follow them. You're not going to get paid anyways.
