There will ALWAYS be a severance or they will have to justify it as as being fired. And it is almost impossible to justify firing.
So just force their hand and make them pay for the layoff, there are a ton of jobs waiting - and you get a nice chunk of money and also Cobra pay.
Don't make their job easy, make them pay you to leave. They don't want US employees, make it cost them more money than they will save by offshoring. Remember layoffs take time and resource expense, yank them.
