I've known managers who had to lay off people in their teams, even as they knew that they themselves were being laid off too. That must really suck.

Not at all. The manager did it for money. For what, a month’s salary? If it were sick, it would be less common.

You assume a lot. Or maybe project. In the cases where I've been close enough to see, the managers were maintaining empathy and professionalism toward their team members even as they were facing uncertainty themselves. That's still hard. Whether they were staying for the money doesn't change that. Managers are people too, and not everyone is motivated solely by money.
