You correctly qualified that with "In my experience people don't
usually" the first time.
In any case, the difference between "laid off" and "fired" is often
quite blurry, and people certainly often get notice when being "laid
off".
Perhaps this is a wrong-side-of-the-pond issue. In the UK if an
employer calls it redundancy when actually they just want to replace
you they would get sued for wrongful dismissal in an instant.
