Agree that this should have been presented differently - something other than the normal update mechanism, which becomes routine over time. This is a major update with a fee associated - the 'upgraded' user is presented with an 'unlicensed' copy of Arq4 and continual purchase dialogs until they get out their credit card and pay again.

Severance is NOT generally paid for sacking incompetent employees, that process is called Termination For Cause.

Consider the following:

1. A company lays off a thousand employees as it outsources a division, or combines with another firm (management decision).

2. A company decides that a product isn't cutting it and lays off the entire product team.

3. My own experience: I was asked to leave a senior position to join a brand new division of a >billion revenue organization - with the expectation that a new business unit would be formed. Four months in, the parent organization was facing external pressures and decided to stop the whole venture - and yes I had pre-negotiated a severance deal for just this eventuality. According to the author, that decision by the parent company was somehow my fault? Was I incompetent? Should I have skulked away in shame, with no payment at all for the risk I took?

This article is business advice as dispensed by a grade schooler.
