When companies are laying off their top performers to save money either (a) they are falling apart, likely near death, and you should leave anyway or (b) they are just a stupid shitty company that doesn't understand the value of top developers so you should leave anyway.

So if you get laid off, it is probably a favor.

Not much of a favor if you don't see it coming and still have bills to pay.

But a true "top performer" would have another job in a week (especially in a tech hub), no?

They don't all live in tech hubs, there are many very good reasons not to jump into one of the first offers you get, and just because you're a top performer at Widget Co doesn't mean that every other company you apply to will find that self-evident based on a few interviews.
