How to Handle Severance After a Merger or Acquisition

When your company gets acquired, everything changes — including your severance. In this episode, Lucas and Luna walk through what happens to severance agreements during mergers and acquisitions, using the real-world example of the 2021 acquisition of Slack by Salesforce. They explain why change-of-control clauses exist, how severance policies shift when a new owner takes over, and what employees should do to protect themselves before and after a deal closes. If your company has been acquired or is rumored to be in play, this episode gives you the concrete steps to take with HR, your manager, and your lawyer. No hypotheticals — just the actual mechanics of severance in an M&A context. #Severance #MergersAndAcquisitions #Layoffs #JobLoss #Careers #EmploymentLaw #ChangeOfControl #SalesforceSlack #Acquisition #HR #Negotiation #JobSearch #EmploymentContract #CorporateRestructuring #Business #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #TheLayoffPodcast Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
