How to leave current job?

What "performance issues" would an early retiree give a shi! about?

Having a nest egg that was large enough to fund a Viagra prescription later in life

At the beginning of this year, I had planned to give my 2 week notice in June and leave after the 4th of July (to get an extra paid holiday) but my former employer decided to alter my plans and laid me off 3 months before I was going to leave.
As a consolation prize for my 21 years of service, they gave me 6 months of severance pay with health benefits (I tried unsuccessfully to squeeze another 2 months), 3 weeks vacation, 3 more weeks of vacation (due to the vague wording that I caught on their the separation letter) and 26 weeks of UC.

Their plan worked out to be much better than mine. I can live with that.

Thanks for all the posts and comments. I'll wait and see how they handle the termination. They may well turn out to have a better plan than mine. At this point its impossible to out-guess them.

This lame duck transition period it a real pill though. Just get it over with already!
