Would love to learn from data if you have any to back that up. From what we've seen, top reasons that determine who gets laid off include those who:
1) get paid well (the layoff is a desperate cost-cutting measure)
2) are randomly selected (the company is acknowledging that layoffs are not performance-related)
3) either got hired most recently or have most tenure (an attempt to reward longtime employees or respect those who just joined)

There's also the "entire department" (often post-acquisition) rationale. In any case, your perception is pretty common, and that creates a hiring opportunity for savvy recruiters who know better and don't pre-judge.
