Fair point about Canadian law being different than US law. For the < 5% of Stripe employees there, that does appear to be true. Though I would again point to my 2nd bullet point:
- There is no evidence that Stripe isn't paying severance when firing for performance (I'd be shocked if they aren't)
Stripe operates a single office in Toronto, Canada. No one would be qualified for severance since severance is only eligible after 5 years of employment and Stripe's office has only been open for 2 years.
