That can be how it works. I know someone who engineered their own layoff, by asking for it, to get a year's salary and tax benefits of doing so. It is possible but it depends on a lot of factors.
If you live in SV and the next job is paying crazy money it might not be worth it, as hanging around trying to get a payout is an opportunity cost. But in some circumstances it is worth considering.

The only voluntary layoffs I have seen was when the company was already committed to doing some layoffs. Generally this is not a thing you get to choose nor something you can engineer.
