This is probably an attempt to have people resign out of “their own will”, so Google won’t have to offer severance packages.

Nah, this is major investors and exec whipping each other up over employees gaining some amount of power over their lives. They’ve become paranoid that we’re working multiple jobs, or that we’re doing laundry, or watching porn, or doing housework, or whatever else when they “own” our time.
Investors like layoffs; they look like trimming the fat. They don’t like resignations; they look like people fleeing a sinking ship.
