I spoke in generalities. There likely will be people who are top performers who won't take the package and lower performers who will. Overall though when presented with this option the most confident of getting alternative employment will take the package and generally speaking these are the people with more transferable skills and potentially stronger performers.
With respect to why Shaw didn't just lay off their worst 10% from that group, I agree with you. Probably cheaper while retaining better talent to do just that. If I worked for Shaw, I would actually consider the way they are handling things more benevolent from an employee perspective than the alternative.
