"involuntary separation" is a vague statement, which means either laid off or fired. Most of the employers these days in order to avoid lawsuits, unwilling to say this person in fact gets fired.
if someone gets laid off, the fault is on his/her employer, fired, him/herself. The consequences are different, the former is light, the latter severe.
when it says involuntary separation, the company basically washes their hands, unwilling to point out whose fault it may lay on. Another thing, these days when doing a background check, many companies only confirm the employment date but nothing else for the same logic.
过去两年有三个朋友进了PIP，两个拿到PIP后非常压力大到过不去每一天，我推荐她们看了心理医生拿了2-3月medical leave，找了工作走人……一个熬过三个月的PIP呆了下来也是因为上司被踢走。
最近有个朋友，没任何迹象口头或书面PIP，因为公司他做的产品没被大公司qualify，被解雇了，但给了8周工资
做补偿。但离开公司的理由不是layoff 而是involuntary seperation。朋友问我可以签document拿钱走人吗？
这个involuntary seperation是fired吗？ 会影响以后找工作吗？公司可以这样没有任何warning解雇员工吗？
我在政府部门工作多年没见过这种情况。下一步怎么走？
谢谢

NASDAQ 涨势不减，美国经济走出低谷，而代表IT业的S&P500持续低迷，IT就业市场继续走低，裁员减薪趋势不可逆当！
IT学子用垂不朽！

-- 白拿8周工资，好事呀！

-- 可以呀。
这个involuntary seperation是fired吗？
-- 不是呀！
会影响以后找工作吗？
-- 不会呀。该咋找就咋找。
公司可以这样没有任何warning解雇员工吗？
-- 可以呀。Almost all the jobs are AT Will. Both party can terminate the job without any reason.

-- 把八周工资存入银行，更新简历， 开始找工作。
谢谢
