But you dont know where your boss stands or if they even get to make the call

  Having managed and laid off people (unfortunately), I would guess middle managers have already been given a number X to cut already, and they are spending some sleepless nights already trying to figure out exactly what to say (unless they are too chicken and have HR personel do the firing)

    That is only one of the ways it’s done. The other is to hire strategy consultants who analyze org structure then try to fit people in those remaining boxes. Those left out are really out.
