Seriously? Look at their other severance benefits.

Besides if you need an attorney for an immigration case it would be a massive amount of hours. The 30 minutes consultation is helpful to decide if you need to pursue a case.

I can't believe with all they are giving you still had to shit on it somehow.

I've had at least half a dozen US visas (J-1, TN, H-1B, plus renewals, then EAD and now permanent residency). I would have appreciated this benefit if I'd been laid off.

The only tangible benefit would be to keep people on payroll instead of severance which would more than double the time they have available to find the next job

I haven't, what about my point changes if I did. I acknowledged it's expensive.

I can tell you what your options are being on a visa for free. You dont need a 30 min consultation with an immigration attorney. Better benefit is instead of severance, keep employees on visa on payroll through that severance period.
