Of course you're going to take the deferred resignation. It's 8 months of pay for doing nothing, and at the end of it, it's doubtful that you'll have difficulty finding a new job.

I think lots of the folks on here are very senior and/or in specialized roles where it makes no sense to take the deferred resignation. But try to put yourselves in the shoes of younger people in less specialized areas.


And what would that person do for health insurance? The 25 yo paralegal in your example cannot be on his parents's health insurance past his 26th birthday. Buying insurance from the marketplace is expensive.


Welcome to the real world.

They were coming anyway. RIF me but I’m not resigning.


Hold the Line because we ARE the people.


RIP is not your problem, getting fired is.
