Following up on my initial post, my original end date was to have been 10/27/06, although it didn't take long for the bright lights that decided to can me that letting Plan "A" (me) go before Plan "B" (who knows what) is in place is assinine, which resulted in a two month extension to 12/29/06. I've had some time to reassess my goals, etc, which has been good. Unfortunately, the additional time at my current position has given me the opportunity to review my situation as well. Whereas as I was initially told that my skill-sets are not a match for the new organization, I have now found that I've being replaced by a colleague of mine with similar work experience. As a result, I am feeling railroaded and am starting to feel as though I should not go quietly. In the time I've been with this company, I've never received a negative review; merit increases, bonuses and option grants were always good as well. Internal and external customers have never had a problem with me, my work ethic or work product.

Whaddaya think, should I take my severance and run, or, push for more? I promise to spend anything over the base offer on the Porsche.
