I'm curious to know how this is going to play out.

With the company offering a selection of options for people to take a break and quite a few people biting the hook, you know what's going to happen for the more senior guys.

The people who's quality of life sucks the most right now are going to take one of the packages. Be it a Cola, Voluntary, or Early Out. Well, pretty much everyone's QOL sucks, but you get the point. The guys just above the ones that have been downgraded who think their life is bad now, are going to see how bad is when they become the most junior people in the company now.

Looks like their master plan is working which is why NG4 still has a job. Good luck guys!
