True, but they can try to make both the recently laid off and soon-to-be-laid-off employees be too busy to communicate, or they can round up the ones who will be staying so at least they don't pass around the news to those who aren't going to be laid off before they know they're not on the chopping block.

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.
