Lebanon is restless, Syria got its walking papers, Egypt is scheduling elections with more than one candidate, and even Saudi Arabia, whose rulers are perhaps more terrified of women than rulers anywhere else in the world, allowed limited municipal elections.

WHAT DOES WALKING PAPERS MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Severance package

A severance package is pay and benefits an employee receives when they leave employment at a company. In addition to the employee's remaining regular pay, it may include some of the following: ▪ An additional payment based on months of service ▪ Payment for unused vacation time or sick leave. ▪ A payment in lieu of a required notice period. ▪ Medical, dental or life insurance ▪ Retirement benefits ▪ Stock options ▪ Assistance in searching for new work, such as access to employment services or help in producing a résumé. Packages are most typically offered for employees who are laid off or retire. Severance pay was instituted to help protect the newly unemployed. Sometimes, they may be offered for people who resign, regardless of the circumstances; or are fired. Policies for severance packages are often found in a company's employee handbook, and in many countries are subject to strict government regulation. Severance contracts often stipulate that the employee will not sue the employer for wrongful dismissal or attempt to collect on unemployment benefits, and that if the employee does so, then they must return the severance money.
