Yeah I think some people think laid off and fired are synonyms. I was just low seniority in my union
When I did hiring our HR had some system that did this. It fucking sucked. It passed through so many shit candidates. I eventually ended up just going straight to the discard pile when I had to review applications.

Massive software layoffs have been common for as long as I can remember. I think it’s not that big of an issue to explain why you are looking for a job in that field. Oh your last job was xxx ahh they laid off x number of employees.
It’s not a secret that most of the people laid in these things are just people on the wrong teams and nothing to do with their capabilities

I just don’t get all this shit. I’m a programmer and for years at my last job I did most of the interviewing for candidates and had the final say-so for whether or not we hired somebody. I could tell in a 15 minute phone call whether somebody knew what they were doing or not and could make a positive contribution to the project.
