In all likelihood the “voluntary” part was an exchange for accelerated stock vesting or similar. Could have walked away without that financial gain, signed the non-disparagement agreement to walk with the stock vested.

Meta doesn't do that. Especially if you are yeeted. You'll get 6 months wage at best.

6 months of senior executive wages is nothing to sneeze at.
