Decent company to work for, until the layoffs happened - Product Owner UL Solutions Employee Review

Unfortunately, I was a part of a mass layoff that happened here, and HR handled this in an incredibly awful, uncaring way. I was informed that I was being laid off as a part of a mass layoff happening during a session scheduled with my boss and a member of HR. I had no idea what I was walking into during this session and this news was dropped on me like an anvil. I had no heads-up, no prior knowledge that layoffs were happening, so this completely blindsided me. The reason for these layoffs? 'Budget cuts'. And let's be real here: 'Budget cuts' basically means 'the company is struggling financially but the higher up don't want to take a pay cut to help keep the company afloat, so they'd rather layoff hundreds of people so that they can keep their millions.' I even mentioned this during the call, and the HR rep just ignored it and continued her spiel, because the fact is: HR exists to protect the company, not the employees. Of course HR is not going to side with the employee losing his/her job. The severance package is absolutely terrible, literally one-month worth of pay to last me and my family through while I job hunt in this terrible job economy. But better than nothing, I guess. The part that really hurt me the most was that my access was cut off almost immediately after the call, so I wasn't able to say my goodbyes to my colleagues, with whom I spent the past several years working. It was so unceremonious, so impersonal, and I hated that I couldn't even properly say goodbye.
