Recently laid off under conditions that I'm convinced are similar.
I was at my org for roughly 9 months, I came in as part of a large class of new hires across the entire org.
The last 4 months we were in crunch mode trying to land a big client that leadership continued saying would be a game changer for us. My eyebrow was already raised, because if one company is that much of a game changer, what happens if we don't get that client?
Sure enough, as I was texting with a friend who was spared, he let me know as soon as the last person left the office that day from layoffs, company had the weekly all-hands and announced sure enough, they didn't get the client.
