I mean I rather companies just be more clear and simplistic w/ their language.

  They have to keep it vague for plausible deniability during potential lawsuits.

    There is nothing to sue over since there is no law that says a business cannot reduce expenses for the purpose of reducing expenses.

      I think you mean there is nothing that they would likely lose a suit over. There is plenty to sue over. Statistically, are the laid-off employees older, more male/female, or more minority representative than the national workforce? Were any verbal promises of no layoffs or ongoing work made by anyone to any employee in those states? Do any municipalities in those states have unique notification other laws around layoffs? Anyone can sue anyone for anything. If I sue you for emotional distress because I allege you like clowns and that bothers me, it will be thrown out (rightfully) more or less instantly. But a huge layoff at a national corporation? There will be thousands of nuisance suits and probably tens of maaaaybe suits given the complexity of state and federal laws.
