Let Go - FINRA U5 Form Reason Indicates “Voluntarily”

I was let go recently from my firm and was given the reason because it was “due to internal staffing changes”. That’s the only clarity I was given on the situation.

I received my FINRA Form U5 filing back with the reason for termination being “Voluntarily”.

Why would my firm put that reason? Is there something behind the scenes?
