mutual separation
Both parties leave
Mutual separation describes a parting that both parties agree to, often used in employment contexts as a diplomatic way to announce someone's departure without assigning blame: The company and its CEO announced a mutual separation.
The phrase sometimes serves as face-saving language when the reality is less amicable—a firing dressed up as a joint decision.
