Yeah this might work for larger tech companies, but when I was working for a Series A startup and got laid off I got 2 weeks. Same thing happened to a friend as well.

I worked at a seed startup and got 3 months, and I was legally just a contractor.

Wow, that's great. How long did you work there? I worked at my previous employer for 2.5 years. My friend for 2 years (different company).

Maybe the contractor deal had better stipulations?
