I can understand your company's perspective, they need to survive and probably encountered unexpected difficulties. I hope that at least they gave these candidates some amount of money (at least one month's salary).

If I were you, I would indeed start exploring other options on a small scale. Don't actively interview, but talk to friends, make a list of workplaces that would be happy to have you, so that on the day of reckoning, you will be prepared for any scenario.

Sorry, what? Have you seen that happen before? I don't see how that's even on the table.

Why not? It's a good skill to have and they could happen upon a better opportunity. Just the fact that the OP made the post in the first place indicates that they're going to resent their employer every day they continue to stay there. Even if they stop actively thinking about it, it'll still permeate through every reaction they have to future corporate decisions and changes in direction.

multiple companies have done this.
