Selling our yards to shortlines

I work for the big orange in the north west division. A lot of rumors been going on around our terminals that they will be selling our yards in coming years and just trying to do inbound and outbound trains. People are saying that we will be bought out as in they will pay us to quit. For example they will offer you 60% of your salary for the next 5 years. Is that something that will mostly happen? What yours guys thoughts on that?
