WHY WOULD YOU OFFER THE SAME EXACT THING AS A BUYOUT AS YOU WOULD A LAYOFF?!?!?!?

Here me out. If you voluntarily take a buyout, you forgo any possibility of unemployment benefits. If you force the company to lay you off (this is the case in at least the state of Ohio I believe), regardless of the severance package, you will be eligible for unemployment after said severance is expired. So why in the right minds would GM offer the same exact benefits as a buyout offer as you would if you were laid off?

Also, I’m back. Maybe. Depending how busy I am this winter from work (it’s hard to inspect bridges when it’s icy/cold/snowy).

Fin.

Suspicions: For political and stats-keeping reasons (attrition rates and type).

I don’t think anyone at GM considered UE benefits as an “offset” to their package, they just viewed it as “round 1 layoffs” and “round 2 layoffs”

Michigan is the same way.  They would qualify for unemployment for a period of time after getting laid off.
