How to Handle Severance When You Have an Internal Transfer Offer

Lucas and Luna tackle a tricky scenario: you're laid off but your employer offers you an internal transfer to a different role. Does taking it forfeit your severance? What if the new role is a demotion or pays less? They walk through a real case from a Fortune 500 tech company where an employee was offered a lateral move two weeks before a mass layoff — and how they negotiated a severance anyway. Plus, they discuss the legal distinction between 'bumping' rights and at-will employment, and why you should always get the offer in writing before deciding.
