I think it implies the company is continuing on but that job is no longer a position at the company. Redundant or unnecessary as opposed to a position that they intend to fill again, as you would with a firing.
Lay off is weirder imo.
Yeah, layoffs feel temporary (like furloughed government employees). I dislike both terms though, I prefer "downsizing" or something like that to clearly indicate that it's not temporary and your job wasn't worthless, it's just that the company needs fewer people employed to meet budget targets.
