This is not a particularly helpful comment. I work at a California-based company, though we have employees all over the world. In our layoffs, typically employees stick around for weeks, months, even 6 months sometimes.

How are we supposed to know? Sometimes people put cryptic slack status icons or messages. Sometimes they slack the team or close contacts or something. But in a company with thousands of people, unless an employee sends a email to the entire company, how are you supposed to know? The layoffs happened months ago, why would it occur to me that the person I am working with today will be gone tomorrow, unless they start every conversation with "hey, so I got laid off..."

Nobody really wants to relive that trauma over and over again. It's frankly MORE confusing the longer coworkers stick around after the 'event'.
