Usually resigning doesn't get you severance but being fired without cause does, but I think this is typically a convention, not a law. I'm unsure about the laws around unemployment in these situations. I doubt the wording used here will matter when it comes to legal brass tacks. Whatever contracts Google and Gebru actually sign will be authoritative there, not the public wording.
