I'm pretty sure I know what I'm going to do, but will be waiting until the last possible moment to commit in case I change my mind. In my case, I could live 3-4 years on my savings (not counting the severance), but that would set back my retirement plans substantially. I'm not looking for advice, just thought this would be a good discussion topic and I'm curious how others would handle this in their own context (not in my shoes).

When someone offers a large sack of cash to leave, I wouldn’t take it as a sign to stay. Unless your employees are super inefficient right now, keeping the same workload for 2/3 the head count sounds like being setup for failure.

The headcount reduction was the major thing for me. We're merging 3 teams, which I expected for a long time now, but I expected more leadership cuts and fewer worker cuts. If I stay, I will have to significantly reduce the quality of work or drive my employees to burn out. I'm not very interested in either option.
