Gotta love how these companies do layoffs.
No one tells you the notification timeline or process to determine whether safe or not
So glad not a new hire or a person with 30 years to work

When we had layoffs in the 2008/9 bloodbath, managers were required to send out notifications after midnight and before 1AM that day. 1-on-1s could only start at 9am, were 15 minutes long, and everyone in the Department had to be on the schedule. My manager left her morning calendar as public so you could see what timeslot everyone was in. One co-worker and I were top in the Department mainly because our exposure to the Exec team. We had 13 people in the department. 7 people were before me and him. No one was talking, everyone was in fear, some had spouses at the company that had been laid off. After the last person was laid off, I went into her office, just asked her to get it over with, and she was a bit confused. She said to wait a minute, went down the hall and called everyone remaining into her office. She said she thought she made it clear in the way she scheduled the meeting. She couldn't say anything legally, but the schedule order should have made it clear. She told us all to wait there 10 more minutes and for everyone to go home after. She was emotionally destroyed as well and needed the short comfort.
As your manager. I told my team that "none of my reports are impacted"
