Why was I given a PIP and severance offer at the same time?

I was given both a PIP and severance offer at the same time today. I have never heard of this happening and was too confused to ask the questions I probably should have in the moment. Now, it's after hours, and I'm left waiting on an answer to my request to negotiate the severance amount. However, my manager also reached out to tell me I have to sign the PIP by tomorrow. I so extraordinarily confused. Am I able to sign both? Is it one or the other? If I sign the PIP tomorrow, does the severance offer go away? Has anyone dealt with or heard of this situation? When they presented these documents to me, it was probably, in total, a 5 minute discussion. When my manager reached out later, he mentioned that they didn't do a good job of explaining. I'm now left wondering how tomorrow is going to go. Am I still employed?
