How likely are consulting companies to accept an amicable separation agreement? So that you can leave and get unemployment instead of waiting for them to get rid of you? Anyone tried to negotiate it?

I think in their language amicable means you go bye-bye on your own :-)

Almost certain. I have never in my 24 years or consulting experience seen a reputable firm fight to keep someone against their will. Only once i saw it with 2 partners leaving together to join a competitor. But never seen it done to a staff.

When someone wants to leave and already has a job then nothing good comes by forcing them to stay.

That’s the point, are employers open to mark it as termination initiated by them if you ask them to?

No because that opens them legally to severance lawsuits even if you sign in the agreement that you don’t want it. Especially in the us they know nothing can keep you from coming back at them with a layer and saying you signed that agreement under duress and now want your full termination rights.
TLDR: Heyylll nah fam. Not gonna happen.

Tell your Partner to go pound sand, unemployment guaranteed

U need to get CTLd or laid off to get severance. End of discussion.

I do not think you would qualify for unemployment when you voluntarily quit a job. Plus, why would you choose unemployment over a job, especially in this market?

Like a divorce or sumthin’?

I’m in-house at a small company (60 people), started right out of law school about 5 years ago. We had a legal team of 5 then. Everyone has left and we just hired a new GC.

I am expecting an offer from a firm doing business law work but think this might be an opportunity to go to my current employer and ask for a significant raise, with new offer in hand. Any thoughts or advice going into this?
