This is tempered by everyone's financial situation. Even in tech a large group of people don't have the resources to sit on the shelf for a few months unpaid. Even if they know a severance package is included the amount is unknown and there are not a ton of animation studios that can probably compete with Pixar on salary, a few but not a lot. Its a big risk to just wait it out and see if you are not financially secure.
