3-4 months is a lot for the US. Most states have no legal minimum, at $COMPANY I would get 8 weeks (12 if I moved back to California).

And in california, it's paid, but at 60-70% of wages. And capped at like $1357 a week. Better than nothing, but for most people here, it's not paid at your salary.

Man, the more I learn about the US the more I hate it.

Yeah, that’s fair. Being in the US is amazing if you’re in the “in group”. But if you leave that narrow path for any reason, your quality of life begins to degrade quite quickly.

I never heard of a company giving less than 6 months. My wife works for a very large financial firm and it was 6 months. All startups I worked at were 6 months.

I got 3 months and that’s more than literally everybody I know in real life. Even that was longer than the company gave just a year prior, so long time employees were jealous.
