The VSP makes sense for me. I am fortunate and I know it. And I get the fear of everyone. I have heard via a high ranking person within the company that pretty much everyone that asks for it will get it. They might be kept beyond the 9/1 date due to a project or something.
I get what is happening, but the people who don't place the blame 90% on the shoulders of Sarah London and the BOD are misguided. Last week we saw the BOD firming up their grip on power by bringing in another person on their side. This is unfortunate for the employees and probably the stockholders as well.
I wish all my coworkers well, but if you can swing it, take the VSP and move on.

I am leaning 95% to accepting. The timeline of my life makes this acceptable for my family and I. I also believe there will be layoffs and I don't think the severance will be fraction of the VSP. And while I do something specific I do not believe I am irreplaceable. None of us is. Welcome to the summer of peace and love.
Agreed! I'm so burnt out of this sh-t show.
@a4 yes agree! Doubt very much any PL would fight.
Kind of hard to get a new job and commit to a new job without a firm end date, especially with severance checks on the line.
@OP I heard the same thing. If you apply for it you will almost be guaranteed to get it but that they are going to layer the departure dates. Do not apply thinking they will fight to keep you.
