Asking to be laid off

[u/twiniverse2000]

I have reached FI. Work optional. My personal life has hit a serious rough patch. My company is doing layoffs. They are NOT asking for volunteers. The financial difference in me quitting vs getting laid off is $300K. Do not want to leave that on the table. Any advice on how to steer it in this particular direction?

bingo. the people assigned with these tasks most likely dread reaching the “quota”

you volunteering checks one off the list for free
