Unfortunately this is how it works at a lot of companies. Just a mess. I was working at Best Buy when the stock price was $8/share... we had "Tornado Thursdays" where every Thursday for months you'd hear of a small amount of people getting notice they were laid off. I suspect they did this to avoid labor rules of notification/SEC? Prior to that, we went through a LARGE layoff where they gathered everyone in a room, said "go back to your desks you'll see a 15 minute meeting on your calendar if you're impacted" and at the end of the day they gathered the remainder in a room and said "if you're here you're safe".
