And as for layoffs, depends on the country you are in, in France you cannot fire someone without notice.

And about knowing in advance, it is not that straightforward. Assuming you work for a company with a minimum of respect for humans, when this company is in financial situation where they do need to lay off people (there can be of course other reasons than financial reasons, like a change in strategy or priorities) it usually takes some time until it trickles down to the direct managers and the individuals. First lengthy and tough discussions are taking place to decide where to make the cuts, as in in which departements, and then only other discussions can take place about who gets to stay and who unfortunately has to be let go.
