Just curious what people's thoughts are on taking the buyout, it seems low to take the risk in the current job market.
Also why can't the xbox team figure out how to unpair aheadset from the Xbox...

I am a retired oil industry geologist. Welcome to my world. I experienced what you are going through at least five times. My advice. When a company offers you money to walk out the door take it and don’t look back. The next round won’t be voluntary nor as generous. Most of your contacts will become your competition. The earlier out the better shot at an available job in a downturn. Consider a relocation to a non tech heavy local in a parallel industry where your skills are relevant. Prepare to make a lot less. Downsize and rationalize your life. Good luck.
Take the bag of money off the table and run. Crank up Van Halen JUMP.
Depends how much money you have saved and if you are close to retirement
Start looking for an exit now. The writing is on the wall. This was just the warning shot for us.
The writing's on the wall.
OP, if your biggest concern in life is that you can't unpair a headset from your Xbox you should probably take the buyout. I am sure your mom and dad will still let you live in the basement...
