Oh, haha, sorry. I thought they had said that and it was a funny spin.
I remember my old boss from when I worked in tech telling me that he always offered to be the first one laid off when they were happening because he was in management and it would get him a nice severance plus make his former employees think he did it for them. Really it paid for his boat and his kids college tuition. He almost always had job offers as an in demand engineer at the VP level, so would take a week vacation and then go back to work somewhere else.
Those were the days. I've never been so lucky to get offered a good severance package.
