So "Up to" 39 weeks of base pay, let's say 9 months.

In this job market, that may not be enough time to feel comfortable and safe taking the offer (if you're a super-employable hotshot with offers awaiting in your LinkedIn, you're probably not the likely target for the offer)

"Up to" can suddenly become much less once you realize company paid healthcare premiums now come out of your paycheck.

Could still be much better than a sudden layoff though.
