In some EU countries it is common that the companies offer employees a “deal” to leave without laying off the staff. At least three months of salary in compensation is common. I know companies that handed out 3 or 6 months + 1 month for each year of employment in salary.

You may only get fired if you are deemed incompetent and have a higher position or does something silly. Not working is not enough.
