    Isn’t this kind of thing usually just to make the forced redundancy round a bit easier?

      I would argue it’s better than nothing.

      Where I live you don’t even get redundancy pay unless your employer is genuinely nice.

        Ah, I’m in the UK so I’m not 100% on Irish law, but European countries typically have legal severance requirements, so the fear of not getting severance pay should not exist in this scenario

          Labor protections are next to non-existent in the US. You could get a glowing performance review one day and then be laid off the next with zero fault, zero warning and zero severance.
