I think a more relevant question is: should the layoffs be illegal?

Just because todays law says “tough luck” doesn’t mean it has always been, or will always be, that way, or that we can’t argue for something better.

Obviously no, they shouldn't. You're not going to be able to keep that 6+ figure salary in a world where layoffs are illegal.

I'd keep in mind that if you make it risky to hire you, you're less likely to get hired.
