You can believe whatever conspiracy theories you want, of course, but the most straightforward explanation is that when you lay off X,000 or XX,000 people, some number of them will be on leave.

My understanding is that they must layoff some workers on leave, otherwise they would be discriminating
In Europe people on sick leave are protected (under certain conditions).
In London, large number of people on sick leave, or were recently on sick leave were fired. I was there, I saw the people, did the numbers.
If you did the numbers, would you share them with the rest of us instead of just alleging secret facts?
Megacorps being dishonest and human-hostile under capitalism is hardly a theory.
