10 Questions to Ask if You Are Fired |
There is nothing more shocking than being fired, but it is important to keep your cool and to gather some important information. US News & World Report has a great list of questions to ask if you find yourself in this situation.
The 10 questions:
1.The date your health insurance ends
2.Severance amount
3.Conditions you have to meet to be eligible for severance (usually there is what is known as a “General Release” you have to sign)
4.The date you need to have your paperwork returned to the company
5.Any additional obligations on your part—filing expense reports or returning laptops, a BlackBerry, or company documents you may have at home
6.Check references: Will they simply verify employment or will they give you a positive reference?
7.Eligibility for rehire: Can you come back?
8.If you are eligible to be rehired, what job posting resources are available?
9.Can you receive unemployment pay at the same time you are receiving severance?
10.Is there any outplacement assistance?
