What's the benefit to the company of not letting people know in advance if they know? What you are describing sound like a badly run company.
My company has not laid off a single person in two decades AFAIK. (not to say we won't fire a person if that's just not working out, but broad layoffs). two decades is more than some people stay married ;). so it's definitely a relationship. Could it happen? who knows. Sometimes the business doesn't work out.
Next time you interview somewhere ask them when is the last time they laid off a significant number of people... (or just Google it, it typically makes the news).
