    I had a very similar thing happen to me. The oddity was that I had just signed an offer letter with another company the week before and I gave my two weeks notice to my boss, but that message hadn’t traveled up the pipe yet. So my one-on-one with a director was basically

    Director: “Half you team was let go, but your job is safe!” Me: “Cool. You know I’m leaving next week, right?” Director: awkward blank stares

    I really wish I had been laid off. Saved someone else their job and I would have gladly taken that severance pay on the way out the door.

      Haha, I had actually been wanting to leave, but I had a feeling that a layoff might happen and I wanted that severance. So, I spent all my spare time interview prepping and waiting. Sure enough, we were laid off and I was primed to interview immediately.
