She's thinking of retiring.
Marvelous Entertainment is behind a lot of different forms of entertainment, primarily video games, music, and anime-- titles include Gunslinger Girls, Katekyo Hitman Reborn!, and Mushishi. They'll be taking applications for early retirement from today through April 3, hoping to get at least 20 volunteers-- about 17% of the company's 120-employee force.
On the one hand, this means they need to save money on employee salaries-- but on the other hand, it means that they don't need it so badly that they're jumping straight to layoffs, especially since (as with most volunteer retiree programs) they're offering financial incentives.
