To OP's point, I don't think the provided buyout window was long enough to determine that. If a bunch of other shoes drop, like more stuff comes out of discovery with the WP Engine lawsuit, knowing that you only had 4 days to accept or GTFO might still leave a bunch of on the fence employees.

Yeah, there will definitely be more departures. If there aren't more voluntary departures then as the legal costs mount I would expect to see layoffs. Matt isn't looking to settle.
