As far as I know, there wasn't much logic when it came to managing layoffs at Coram. They cut some of the best employees, while retaining some that are not even close to their level of expertise.
The worst thing for me is that I realized that hard work has no value at all. The question is how to stay productive and motivated for hard work knowing that one can still get cut regardless of his or her efforts?

How to stay productive and motivated or hard work knowing that one can still get cut regardless of his or her efforts? The answer is quite simple:
Our work does not define who we are. Hard work should be done to satisfy YOUR personal goal(s). Your motivation should come from knowing you're going to accomplish your personal goals. These companies and these jobs are just a means to an end.
If you maintain this perspective, you won't be disappointed when they decide to cut you.
Who cares about effort? By now you have realized that you are truly outta there. If you now plan to leave the company, why should you continue to care about a company that gave no $hits about you?
