No, but I've been laid off. It's like winning the lottery. I got a huge severance and a pay bump at my next job

Getting fired is a (potential) mark on your work history. Getting laid off isn't.

Going for a new job, "I was made redundant" explains why you left your last job. "I was fired" is a signal that maybe you're trouble or not able to do the job. If you do get fired, try and spin it as being laid off or some other reason (e.g. contract ended and wasn't renewed) to avoid that.

of course but thats just what people say not reality.

Oh sure, but maybe some people are inexperienced enough they would be honest about "I got fired" and then they wonder why they never got called back after the interview. Nobody ever did all the wonderful things on their CV, either. You have to strike a balance between "polish it up" and "don't be so ridiculous that the interviewer has to call you a liar".

I once got something similar with even less effort. They were replacing my department with overseas workers and a nice severance was given to ensure no one would jump ship while the new guys were trained. However the shift leads, which I was one of, got to keep our job as they needed some people with experience to herd the barely qualified replacements so they didn't oopsie a key database or system cluster.
We ended up getting the severance as well and a nice pay adjustment within the next year because the transition went as poorly as expected and all my fellow leads weren't shy about the fact they were looking elsewhere.

It always goes poorly. With jeets, you get what you pay for

Not even the jeets. My company went overseas to save money but then still underpaid for the regions they were hiring out of to save even more. So we ended up with two types of employees.
1. Analysts who didn't even have a basic grasp of elementary concepts
2. Analysts with experience that found new jobs within 3 months of starting
It's even worse now, but myself and my former colleagues (and manager) bailed on that department awhile ago.
