Hi all, need advice here... I tendered my resignation last week and last day should be end of Sept. I've confirmed with future employer that be starting my new job on 1st Oct.

However manager approached me today and advised me to take layoff package instead but end date will be another month later (end of Oct). I was asked to negotiate with future employer if I can join 1 month later.

If go by layoff package, I will be compensated in terms of $$, but I heard those that took layoff package will not be allowed to re-join current company in future.

And after talking to management, they seems prefer me to take layoff package more than standard resignation.

I'm still figuring out whats the logic they are doing this... have yet to receive terms and conditions regarding the layoff package too...

Perhaps someone here can shed some lights for me...

Thanks in advance.
