> The higher up the org chat you report to is, the safer your position becomes

Last layoff at my company was predominantly of middle managagers and very few line workers. Even meta layoff was "the flattening".

surprised by your comment. Is there any data supporting this?

No data, just an intuition about being closer to the power centers.

I guess that makes sense. Level 1 and 2 managers are not really closer to power centers despite being higher in the org chain.
