    My whole team was cut and I want to say it calmly. I would rather hear the honest version than the polite one. I also do not want to seem like a risk. Do they ask follow-ups?

    If a company has been in the news for layoffs, you can mention that. Often the interviewer already knows.

    Keep everything in writing and save the confirmation numbers. It saved me later.
