    So you’re being “voluntary” fired? You can’t quit when you want?

      It’s probably implied that if not enough people take this offer - people will be fired.

      I’ve been through tech layoffs. Random people are axed and people who thought about leaving anyways stay. This is a much better solution where those who considered leaving anyways can take them up on the offer.

      You don’t get severance when you quit.

      Severance is usually worse if you wait to get fired rather than taking a voluntary exit.

      If you aren’t happy at a job, taking an offered exit is often a good decision.
