There is no law that requires an employer in North Carolina to give you severance. Therefore, it is impossible to say was "reasonable" is as it will mean different things to different employees or employers. I suggest you set a consultation with an employment attorney to review the agreement and to see if you have any legal claims against the employer. If you sign a severance agreement, you are giving up your right to file any legal claims (although most employees have no legal claims). Therefore, if you do have a legal claim, then the employer may be willing to pay more money to get you to sign the severance agreement.
