I've been in a couple of companies that went under, and had held serial layoffs. (For example, when I started at Atari in 1982 there were perhaps 4,000 employees, and when I resigned about five years later there were less than 200). Towards the end you start to wonder who the lucky ones really are. Not kidding.

I worked for a company for 3 years after half my team was laid off. In hindsight I clearly should've quit, but yeah the folks laid off and collecting that severance were definitely the lucky ones.

And those laid off last, get the least severance (if any).
