"no immediate plans for layoffs" means "layoffs in a few weeks".

  Exactly. The moment upper management utters the word 'layoff' in any context, or tries to reassure workers it's time to GTFO immediately.

    Why would you GTFO because there’s a possibility you might be laid off? Why not wait and see if that actually happens and collect any severance?

      1 - Layoffs mean either your workload is going up, or you're getting fired. 2 - Depending on size of company and location, mass layoffs mean a ton of people looking for jobs at the same time. Better to get ahead of such things, in my experience.

      Personally? Because I don't think the stress is worth it. I've been in this situation and find it unbearable.
