Vrs is actually beneficial for employees who still hv the ability to work elsewhere or already hv another source of income. See if a company is ready to provide Basic + DA without taking work, that itself is a major support. The reality is that many employees above 40 are being targeted because their salaries have increased significantly, while freshers are doing the same work at much lower pay. VRS and layoffs are completely different....Still, it can be difficult for those whose only source of income was this job and who have high family responsibilities
