Ah, I’m in the UK so I’m not 100% on Irish law, but European countries typically have legal severance requirements, so the fear of not getting severance pay should not exist in this scenario
Labor protections are next to non-existent in the US. You could get a glowing performance review one day and then be laid off the next with zero fault, zero warning and zero severance.
Isn’t this kind of thing usually just to make the forced redundancy round a bit easier?
I would argue it’s better than nothing.
Where I live you don’t even get redundancy pay unless your employer is genuinely nice.
