Main objective seems to reduce headcount and operating expenses as they react to shifting customer demand (internet only, streaming, on demand) away from cable subscriptions.
I misunderstood that and read that as 6 months+1 month (so 7 months) per year of service. So if I was there for 10 years, that would be 70 months of pay...

Still a pretty good overall severance package. One of the best I've heard of. 10 years service would get me 16 months pay. Not bad.
