Severance
Memory-splitting office thriller
Severance is the act of cutting off or separating—severing a limb, severing ties with someone.
In employment, severance refers to compensation given when a job ends, especially through layoff: The company offered six months' severance.
A severance package typically includes pay and extended benefits.
The word emphasizes finality: what's severed is decisively ended.
