Hey all, Am 55 and work for a mega corp that provides 1.5 weeks/year severance to folks that get laid off. Want to RE in 1-2 years, but there are some disincentives to voluntarily retire before 60 (beyond not getting a package). Most of those disincentives disappear if one gets laid off. Also, the 10% penalty on IRA distributions goes away if laid off over 55 and under 59.5. Thus, I've been collecting best practices on ways to get RIFed (Reduction in Force is the HR term). Appreciate thoughts from folks that have worked this issue, especially with success.
