I mean, even if it had done well, I feel like they would still be laying people off anyways, just to pad out their end of year revenue presentations.

Every time. Seems more like companies aren't "hit with" them at all, more like.... They "get to participate" or "decide to indulge" in layoffs.

Yeah, "hit with" has always been bizarre passive voice wording. The executives in charge were the ones who actively decided to lay off people.
