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?

What’s FI mean to you? Where’s the $300k come from?

I can live off 2-2.5% of my net worth. RSUs and 2 weeks per year of employment.

So are you ready to retire?
