I am fairly sure that I am being laid off with other Sr. Engineers tomorrow and need some ideas. Basically, I saw a calendar mistake by HR, so oops!

Meh. It's gonna suck for a bit, but whatevers. Life is more important than a shit job. :)

It might be just a little bit more shitty to be laid off and have finances jeopardized than to fire someone. I don't know the market you're in but I'd never stoop so low to come back to a place that laid me off earlier, I'd really have to be desperate.

I also don't accept counter offers after I turn in my resignation.

Once you said you're going to leave, even if they counter to keep you, they're never going to trust you. And they might cut you.

However, I would still entertain a counter offer, as long as a kill fee was included in that. Counter higher salary, and if you choose to end the engagement within 3 to 5 years, you pay me this kill fee.

That way they're committing to retaining you, and not just keeping you long enough to find a replacement
