In very large companies, to keep it confidential and SILENT large layoffs are usually known only to about 10 people. The CEO, a board member, 3 lawyers, 1 finance, and usually 4 HR executives. It's really not about who...it's about percentages and what the new budget numbers have to look like. Then it's off to filter by say salaries and reduce count of number of employees impacted.
