Maybe if they're offering additional benefits beyond the legal requirements, ie longer severance, they could threaten to withhold those? I guess what some companies were doing is saying "ok, we give you 4 months severance, but you agree to waive X, Y, and Z rights".

> There is no legal requirement under California law that employers provide severance pay to an employee upon termination of employment.

The corresponding part is that if you can't waive X, Y, and Z - will the company still offer severance pay?
