As has been mentioned before, that's not how it works. Your desire to be laid off is (often) an incentive for the company to keep you on. Eventually, you'll tire of waiting and do the reasonably thing (financially speaking, from the company's perspective) and resign.

If you're unhappy, develop your exit strategy. Do not dally, do not add to your discontent, do not make your own life more miserable in hopes of some payout, or favorable employment status, or some sort of guilt free closure. Go for what you want and accept the consequences.

FYI - mainly sharing based on my personal experiences. I do not know your situation nor the source of your desire...
