I'm in the same situation and it's even more ridiculous since there are only weeks between "we want to grow to 5000 people (from several hundred)" but now they start with firing people. I understand what they think they are doing. Replacing older people with young folks but the company has already a bad reputation for doing this in the recent decade. So...there will be no growth and the reputation will be even worse when they are done with the purge all this while those employees take away experience necessary to acquire new jobs or even direct client relations. Mad corporate world.
