Other key employees quit leaving the organization literally without successors as the President was ready to retire. So, based on that, I figured this was some way of disguising a layoff/RIF in order not to induce panic because there were rumors circulating about layoffs shortly (as in a couple of weeks) before my departure and organization President was going out of his way to debunk them. Also the fact they would not challenge UE, I went with "laid off" on my job applications.
Interesting...
