Sure is. It's called keep pissing people off until they let you off. It's fun too lol. I know this from experience. They let me keep my bonus and paid out my PTO and severance.

Exactly lol

But you don't want it to be performance related... then you don't get the severance, you just got fired. Right?

Right. Plus you lose out on any reference or recommendation from your peers or leadership.

I do think they do it if they are in a market where they need to execute layoffs (which might be the case for you now, depending on your practice). If they need to lay off anyway to cut costs, might as well offer it up to those who were thinking of leaving anyway, rather than piss more people off .

6 months pregnant and just laid off. And 40% of my severance was just taken in taxes .. I just spoke with paid family leave and I no longer qualify even though I had been paying into the program (thanks NY).. I already applied for unemployment but doctors are telling me I’ve got 10-14 weeks left in this pregnancy.. so stressed having twins and being unemployed, no maternity leave, no paychecks coming in, and I’ve been applying but not a single interview.. just ugh. 😭

Industry vets - in your experience how recession proof is insurance? I was not yet in the job market last recession but I watched my mom get laid off and struggle to find employment during that time for the next 1.5 years. I was wanting to hit the job market towards the end of this year, but now I worry that if I do move companies, the recession could put me in position of last one hired first one fired. Is it better to stay put?
