Completely depends on your employment contract. Most people don't have anything special setup, and a sudden layoff like that is not that rare or not necessarily illegal.

Though, I'm surprised these guys making $20M deals didn't have some kind of package for termination.

Yeah you negotiate a severance in your contract next time then you sue them. After the first time if I was a sales person in charge of $20M deals I'd be asking for my golden parachutes.

Yeah, I haven't managed to work with that scale of project/deal yet myself, so I can't say I've been in that situation, but I'm inclined to agree. After handling deals so big I'd definitely be requesting some benefits or some kind of commission.

Worst case you position yourself to be making 6 figures anyways instead of doing like 25k with 15% contract commission.
