They're honestly blackmailing those that won't stay on by telling them they won't get severance or be eligible for unemployment.
SH, MY, and AD know they can't fake their way around the lab in front of each other, so they have to get on their knees and beg MR to find a way to screw the real workers over to make them look good for another few months.
Oh, and managers get 1-2 years of severance. Stay classy, PCLS.
