Agreed, especially given the other info:

- The severance package is apparently very generous

- The relocation package is just $4K, not at all generous

- They’re giving ppl just 3 days to accept the relocation option, too little time for most people to decide on a major life move

Sounds like what they really want to do is a layoff, which is fine (especially if the severance package is strong), and a normal part of businesses. But they didn’t have the guts to just do it, and instead are doing a thinly veiled layoff that makes it seem like the employee’s choice.

Imagine showing up to one of the hub cities ready to work after your manager assumed you were toast…

Especially awkward if your name is Tom.
