What do I say about why I left my last job?

My whole team was cut and I want to say it calmly. I would rather hear the honest version than the polite one. I have been practising in the mirror.

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

Thanks for writing this out. I went through something close to it last year, and it settled down once I kept a simple log of every call and form.
