Incorrect.
Friend of mine retired and showed me their Work History print out - shows termination date. The termination date was the date they used as their retirement date.
Would strongly suggest you get your history from that source too as it will be the one that new, possible employers, will have access to.
Verizon does not give references. Everything is verified through the work number. You can say whatever you want as for your reason for leaving.
Own the narrative
lol, don't be stupid. If you resign 1. you won't get the package from Verizon; 2. you won't get unemployment benefit from government; 3. Being laid off have 0 impact on job search.
Literally does not matter... many people have been affected by RIFs over the past 5 years, and it's no longer uncommon or looked down upon
Being laid off and being terminated have the same end result but very different meanings. Generally, termination is aligned with the employee not performing their job while a layoff is a result of a company downsizing. Future employers understand layoffs and it is nothing to be ashamed of. Definitely don’t quit. If you do, you will not get any severance.
Do not offer to resign. When your future employer runs employment check, past employers are only allowed to share start/end date and role. Nothing more. You do not have to say you were terminated or resigned at any time during interview. You are allowed to say "left because chasing a butterfly appealed to me".
