Looking at the Wikipedia-article, it appears to apply to unionized workplaces, and Klarna is not one of them.

There are of course ways you can part with your employer that falls outside this law - you can be asked to waive your rights, in some cases against compensation. Your employer can also choose to break the law and bank on you not knowing your rights/not feeling equipped to fight for your rights.

The relevant part is this "LAS gäller för alla arbetstagare med undantag för de i företagsledande ställning. Lagen är tvingande, men kan inskränkas genom kollektivavtalsskrivelser."

The law covers all employers and employees regardless of union membership, but agreements between unions and employer organizations can limit the scope.

As you say, in practice companies will often sweeten the deal with a big severance package if they want to make changes which the law doesn't allow. I.e. get the right people to voluntarily resign instead of having the wrong people being laid off.
