I don't know about anyone else in this thread, but if I was offered a 9 months severance, I'd have to really, really LOVE my job to not take it.

More likely than not I'd find a job before 9 months.

I'd probably make screenshots and videos of the offer and me resigning just to make sure I get my $$.

Agreed. The idea that people are staying for financial reasons or due to a tough job market doesn't really hold up when you've got a full 9 months of severence.
