When my company wants to get rid of someone but does not want to lay them off with benefits and severance, they use a fairly underhanded but not unintelligent strategy. They ask you to relocate. They do this to people that they know cannot relocate or are unwilling to do so. A lot of times they will ask you do move to an area with a much higher cost of living and they do not offer any kind of salary adjustment.
They have done it to a few people in my department already. So, if you choose not to move, they can fire you and it is not unreasonable or you can quit and also end up with nothing.
I bet the manager that came up with that idea got a raise even though we keep laying people off!

It's an A vs E thing.
