The term “laid off” could cause confusion in this scenario. Consider using RIFFed or redundant . Also avoid using “severance” and “package” in the same sentence unless he did something really bad.

You sure he wasn’t quiet quitting?

How long have you been with your boyfriend? How long have you had these feelings for?

Going concern***

He might know already if he looks at WARN

Delete his profile from your Netflix

Offer him the ability to come back as a contractor, or reduce his hours to part time

Tell him no more PIP for him (P in P)

Do like PWC UK and make him sign a separation agreement dictating what he can say about his termination and including non disparagement terms and suggested language for announcing his moving onto his next adventure

I definitely need to send mine packing. Does nothing around the house, pays nothing, works every day. I’m not a charity.
