I'm not trying to justify it, but I understand those who decide to do so - some intentionally "try" to get on the layoff list and there seem to be quite a few instances of this?

Leadership or culture. In either case, I advise anybody considering joining to keep walking.

Either the leadership does not realize the extent to which the employees here are dissatisfied, or they do but do not care. Do you think they are even interested in our complaints? Unfortunately, I think not.
