if your boss offered you $2000 to quit, would you?

No, the company is not in trouble. The offer is more about getting rid of people that aren't passionate about the company or their job.

So, would YOU quit your job right now for $2k?

I'm a bit confused here - why not just fire the people? Why would a company have to pay them to leave? It's not like a company even needs a reason to let someone go.

They want to get rid of those people who don't like the job, but are only working "just because".

For 2k? No moron in their right mind would do that.

But why wouldn't they just fire them? It's not like the company has to give a reason for letting people go.

With a boss like that are you sure the company isn't in trouble? Offering any $ amount to leave would send up a worry flare for me.

How would the company know about such people? Do you know of anybody that tells their boss "I don't like working for company, but I only work because I need to"?
I see this as an incentive for companies that greatly depend on customer service as being their #1 priority.

Of course if this was for a $5/hr job, I can see it almost getting abused but I would expect the company to put rules in place to prevent such from happening..
Of course if you make $70+k/yr, this is also useless as well.
