Dunno if I'd have the guts to say "pay me more because I'm all you have left". I do have no problem asking my manager if I'm on track for advancement, which is basically asking "will I get more money soon?" and who knows, maybe asking that will prompt them to address the freed up salaries instead of you. Everyone is going to have a different answer to this question so just do whatever feels right. If you weren't selected for layoffs you were selected to NOT be let go, so you probably won't lose your job. Or you will. Good luck hahaa
