No heck it aint.

That's exactly what these stupid lil companies want you to think so that when you get terminated, you wont complain. Don't become complacent.

Nothing about the way they treat their employees is "life."

13 weeks severence is pretty good these days and firing in December is pretty standard at least in my industry (YE bonuses and other benefits that the company is charged for in the new year that don't immediately end if an employee is terminated).

Yea its brutal but the company doesn't have much better options for mass layoffs. Do you start calling in people 1 by 1? Do you announce it and then slowly weed people out? How long does either of those take? How long does it take for word to get out that layoffs are happeneing on the first day? How many days do employees have to sit at their  desks in fear, probably not working, wondering if they are gonna get called in. How many good employees that weren't getting fired strt looking for jobs and potential leave.
