Layoff guide · Washington

Laid off from Boeing? Here’s what your severance should be.

Boeing announced major workforce reductions in 2024, widely covered in the press. If you were among those affected, you have more room to negotiate your severance than most people assume — especially at manager level and above.

A large share of Boeing’s workforce is based in Washington State, where final-paycheck timing and layoff-notice rules differ from other states. Tenure tends to run long at Boeing, and longer tenure usually means a larger fair-severance range.

Before you sign your Boeing severance agreement

A first severance offer is almost always a starting point. The company expects most people to accept it without a word — which is exactly why a specific, market-grounded counter so often works. Use the estimate above to see whether your offer is low, fair, or already generous for your role and tenure, then negotiate from there. If you are 40 or older in the US, you are entitled to time to review the agreement before signing; in Canada, your provincial minimum is a floor, not the real number.
