Volkswagon Layoffs bound to reach 20,000 workers

In this article, Volkswagon is going to get rid of 20,000 workers to continue with a higher technology and make of cars. Because of this huge amount of layoffs, the economy will need to be prepared to have more availability of jobs for these 20,000 to make it in the world. I wonder if the workers that know they will not be there anymore will stay there until they are told to leave, or if they will just leave Volkswagon in a hunch and leave without their work complete?
