I've got experience with this, gotta say: severance pay depends on a few factors. Gather the data first, don't make emotional decisions.

Another perspective: maybe the core issue with severance pay is something else entirely. Think about it like this...

Look most business owners make the wrong call in these situations. Watch out hasty decisions usually end in regret.

Technically speaking: there are two main factors in the severance pay decision. Cost-benefit and risk management. Decide based on data.

Let me share what happened to me; it might be useful. Taking notes for two weeks yields better results than a six-month estimate.

Correct me if I'm wrong.

The answer above hits the nail on the head. Measure first, then divide. When the order is right, the debate ends.

Of course, it varies if your situation is different.

We've heard this a lot, but it never happened like that for us. Hasty decisions become decisions you have to fix six months later.

Proven by experience.

I can't fully agree with this. When you try to change everything at once, nothing settles.

If I were you I'd go this route.

Looking at it as a process, the picture changes. Measure first, then divide. When the order is right, the debate ends.

Good luck with that.

Let me write how it's done in practice. A small market isn't bad; working cheaply in a small market is.

Finding a new customer is more expensive than keeping an existing one.
