>Workers were offered $4,000 toward relocation costs and extra paid time off. Those willing to relocate were told to do so by September 30.

It looks like just saying yes buys you an extra 3 months and paid time off to interview to find a new job.

You usually need to return relocation costs if you quit within a year, and they'd lose out on the severance as well.. But yes, it does make sense for some people especially ones on a work based visa.

Do that and you'll lose your severance

which is fine if you have another job lined up imho

[analognoise]

Yeah but why bother if the severance is that good? Just take the money and run.

[exe34]

it's often easier to get a new job when you already have one. the severance would have to be worth a significant number of months of pay before it pays for the longer time looking for a job afterwards.
