If you've got some experience and you're willing to work hard for a living, Michigan employers want you ... to leave.

All across the Great Lakes State, companies that once lured workers from all over the world are paying them big bucks to go away.

And it isn't just the automakers. Retailers, municipalities, law firms, advertising agencies and even (gulp!) newspapers all are encouraging employees to collect their severance checks.
