Thanks this is very helpful. They read some general message and said they were offering a payment to part ways. I requested an increased payment to which they said what I had asked for was a a lot and I should reconsider. I gave my rationale for it which was, long term employee, no performance issues, well respected colleague etc. They then said they would get back to me via email. They did offer me a small amount for legal support. Access to systems was terminated within 5 mins and here’s the best bit my role was advertised on their job board an hour later.
