I'm in Product in the Americas, and I alredy know I will have to leave FactSet in April for family reasons. It's not really optional for me so I've been thinking about this with all the recent cuts. If another round hits Product, can I privately tell my manager or HR that I'm willing to be included instead of someone who actually wants and needs to stay? I'm not trying to get fired or game performance. Since I know I'm leaving in April anyway, I'd rather take the layoff myself if it could save someone else's job. Has anyone at FactSet actually done this or asked for voluntary redundancy? Did they allow it, and are there any risks?

I just waited until they let me go. Took 4 years of waiting but ended up getting a few hundred thousand as a package.
Just wait until they sack you and get your package.
It would only work if there is a voluntary package being offered.
That sounds tricky. If you tell them, they're gonna wait for you to resign so they don't have to pay the severance...
