  1. For those companies receiving taxpayer money, layoffs must be voluntary, not compulsory, as is already the case for many white-collar employees.

Companies can simply do a soft layoff by making working conditions worse (e.g. declaring a work-in-office mandate when working-from-home has been the norm)

Always wondered if these could/should be considered constructive dismissal

At least where I am, significant changes in your job are grounds for constructive dismissal.

Unless like, you want the changes.
