No but really, this is like 20 product managers at Snap (> 5,000 employees), Zillow with 2 dozen (> 5,000 employees), and some undisclosed small number from the others. Employees can feel how they want to feel but most of my peers seem to have much a much greater fear layoffs than they should have. Many of those folks just haven't been laid off before. I've personally been laid off at least 3 times that I can recall. Once it's happened to you a few times that whole fear goes away, at least in my opinion. "Wondering if your job is safe" is really not productive. There's no such thing as "safe" in at-will employment.
