Generally severance is structured such that it's voluntary, and comes earlier than layoffs. You don't get a big package if you wait for a layoff to be fired.

Generally severance is structured such that it's voluntary, and comes earlier than layoffs. You don't get a big package if you wait for a layoff to be fired. That produces a moral hazard that encourages exactly the kind of fraud you're suggesting.
(And yes, what you're suggesting is straight up fraud.)
- iancmceachern 4y agoI dont agree that it's fraud.
- thebradbain 4y agoThat is not fraud at all. By that logic, not giving anything but your absolute 100% blood and sweat to your job (no matter how menial) is fraud.
