In a remote layoff situation? The whole company would know the moment one person was laid off.


No, in an in-person layoff situation. I was addressing the comment I replied to where it said "This is equally true for in-person layoffs".

I've been in an office during an in-person layoff situation (surprisingly only once during my 15+ year career), and they were definitely taking advantage of it being done in person.
