I mean it depends. One could definitely do both to aim to accelerating a favorable end goal.
For instance, one could sit down in a meeting with the manager and HR and explain the individual knows they're trying to lay groundwork for something along the lines of constructive dismissal. As such, the individual has also been laying the ground work for a wrongful dismissal lawsuit against the company and the HR/managers personally (reveal only what's necessary, not more "I don't need to go into more details"). So, if the decision is already made, then it's time to be professional and stop with the charade. Table a voluntary layoff agreement/arrangement, individual signs it if it's reasonable, escalates it if it is not.
The story I heard, the individual was looking to leave anyways but was also a ####ing badass. Like CEO of several small start ups in Silicon Valley badass. "I was going to leave on my own anyways, but you pulled this underhanded BS that you seem intent on escalating, so I'll see if I can get some seed money for my start up." kind of thing.
