Fired and laid off are two completely different things. Quite a few folks have been laid off and find other jobs, but it’s always easier to find a new job while you have a job.
Don’t wait to get laid off to start looking, but don’t quit without something else lined up first either. It’s better to ride the job out to the end if you don’t have something else first.

American employers are reluctant to use the term “lay-off” so they will often describe a “restructuring” where they fire “underperforming” staff without cause. If there are regulations describing the percentage of employees that makes it a layoff, they will fire 1% fewer to avoid any statutory requirements.
