Make it easy to get a package to leave. Many of us are waiting for one. It spares those who want to persevere.

They are letting people go who want to stay. Others who want to go are doing the bare minimum until they get offered a package. Seems backward.
Layoffs are done by spreadsheet, not by performance.
In a "decent/honorable" org. - yes, they would offer early retirement/incentive for package. Similar to GM to avoid RIF. Unfortunately, when many got notice on the last minute - the writing is on the wall we do not care about your future, we are only interested in showing cost cutting to the share holder/Board. Yes, the leadership could have been doing more to be proactive but it is obvious its an easy game plan (no brainer) in M&A - cut resource, move to low cost (offshore). Quality/Compliance/Talents are not in the equation for consideration. This is why seeing "writing on the wall" make your plan to exit.... No one is immune... Folks have been consistenly achieved 4 rating go the axe too! Why? Your salary is high and they dont care about your contribution/talents... HR has software to line up all resources on overall comps. They just pick those will meet their metric to save "$" they have been told to achieve...and more...Sorry! this is how this org works!
