Thoughts on negotiating your own layoff? We have three kids four and under and I’m about to come back to work from maternity leave. We are treading water every day while paying out the nose for childcare. I know my firm and team are not in a great place financially and layoffs are likely on the horizon. If I were on the chopping block I’d be looking at a decent severance. Can/how can I volunteer as tribute? I have a decent relationship with my boss.

I know someone I can connect you with who specializes in this now. She’s a former CHRO. It doesn’t work for everyone but she seems to think it’s very possible in the right circumstances

Thank you! Interested!

Not saying it's impossible, but from all the posts/comments I've seen over the last few months, I have not seen this work out well. I think it's more likely that you'd get laid off without saying anything. They'd rather not entertain you and wait for you to quit to avoid payout would be my guess.

This is helpful. Thank you!
