QUESTION
Laid off. What am I entitled to/what should I ask for?
Asked on Sep 24th, 2016 on Labor and Employment - North Carolina
More details to this question:
After almost 30 years with the same company I was laid off. I was not given any notice nor offered any other position even though I have a great track record. I was only offered 2 weeks pay as severance and was told I would only have insurance for one more week.

This seems very unfair. However, you are not entitled to anything in North Carolina when you lose your job. I see nothing wrong with you asking for more severance. The worst the employer can say is no.
