    Take the severance package. If they are offering a severance package then they are already planning a layoff and are just taking volunteers first. Trust me, this is exactly what happened in tech this year. Take the package or face layoffs / gatting managed out.

      Going to hammer hard on this too! Happened to me a few years ago.

      This is definitely the goal. And those “loyal” who stay have a dice roll chance to get laid off with nothing later down the line.

      Read the details first though and compare to what else you can find out. Some companies are sneakily reducing severance package standards just for remote employees. It may be better to just aggressively job hunt while still getting a full paycheck as long as possible.

      What’s the benefit of VR over IR? I’d have thought the terms would be better with IR, plus you get to be paid a salary for longer
