💯. Not only OK but recommended! And FYI the reason behind your departure is confidential if you’d rather not say.

I am recently received an invite for a meeting with a partner and a HR person which means I am either going to be laidoff or put on a reduced schedule (60% time for 60% pay). I would rather being laidoff since I don’t want to still work 100% with 60% pay. How would I frame it if they put me on the reduced schedule? I don’t want to say “you have to fire me” since it might be counted as resignation and I won’t receive the severance package.

I wish I would have had this bowl ten years ago 😔 I recently was diagnosed with ADHD.
