The fact that you will be jobless in this economy.

I can’t think of many companies that would be better to work for than Microsoft in terms of compensation.

In this sort of situation, always take the first offer. Subsequent offers are always worse.

It's 9 months. They probably won't do layoffs again for 6 months and you will get a package then for more than 3 months. Makes sense to hang on.

Traditional if you know you’re a shitty employee that can’t find a new job you stay.

Voluntary packages tend to be accepted by the strongest employees

It’s a shitty deal for companies but shareholders love cost cutting

no job?

if you prefer being fired!
