Update: Should I volunteer for layoff/saverance?
Update: So layoff did happen but I wasn’t laidoff even after volubteering to my manager. turned out my manager was already on exit route (seems like as an exec he got advanced notice and time before layoff).
I did secure a FANG PM job and starting soon. Now a lot of Disney employees are furloughed as of end of next week.
Sounds like a thriller story but my timing turned out to be equisite and I feel lucky unlike manybof my colleagues who got furloughed 😢
So there is layoff coming at Disney here as result of Fox synergy... obviously i heard from other colleagues.
I have made up my mind to find a new job and have been preparing sincey last few months for the upcoming interviews at FANG and similar companies... should i volunteer for layoff and get some free time for prep and cushion for the job hunt process? does anyone know how and who to have this conversation with? i dont know much about saverance yet, whats the standard?
what should i be careful about?

Heck, with 10+ years of experience, you can just list years of employment, not months or exact dates. There’s a lot of 2020 left.
I got 3 months severance, took a month off and then had double pay for two months. Not bad!
