What is "forced to resign"?

Been hearing this a lot these days where companies are firing a bunch of people and forcing some others to resign, to bring down the severance cost.

What are these situations created by these companies which actually force people to resign?

  1. Direct threat of firing you if you don't resign and that would look bad on your profile
  2. Making a performance case and giving Performance Improvement plan with impossible tasks or very high workload. They will find fault like you did not do this and that
  3. Not giving any rewards or appraisal or anything and micromanaging to make your life hell so you switch yourself

Severance is not paid in force to resign . Had to face this in last company . It also means two things -

  1. Either manager asks you to resign
  2. Or you are given impossible tasks

Yes I know that severance is never paid in case of resignation. That's why companies are forcing people to do so.
