    So, unless you’re enslaved, every job has a “voluntary exit”. It’s called “quitting”. What Zuck and his people are trying to do is downsize without the bad press that comes from… uh, firing people. I mean “downsizing”…

    This is a pretty nice way of handling the situation really.

    When you merge two groups like this there is redundancy created in mostly management roles, and they’re offering a severance package to anyone who wants to take it.

    The alternative is just firing people who are now redundant. This is way nicer.
