When the show first came out, there was a lot of talk (still is) about which parts of our lives we would sever - going to the gym, airplane flights, etc. - and how great that would be; while missing the point that there is someone else on the other side of that door. It's horrific in a r/boringdystopia way

I'm confused by the mystery surrounding this? I thought it was obvious that there are severance applications beyond work from the Devin birthing arc with that other rich lady.
Beyond the birthing and workplace application, we aren't too sure what other "common" severance applications are out there, but IIRC, the writers did confirm the idea of being severed more than once.
I've been wondering if there's an actual hint in wording. Is there a difference between someone external saying something like "You're severed?" vs "I was a severed employee" (job search arc) that means that you can sever for reasons beyond work? But I haven't gone back to double check the script for the specific wording.
