We just received notice that my employer is shuttering my group at the end of January, and will be laying off just about the entire team. People still employed on Jan 31 will receive two months’ severance. People who voluntarily leave before will not be entitled to any. I feel pretty confident I can find something by then, but would it be unethical to ask to start my new job in February so I can get that severance?
Edit: thanks all for your input!!
