"We have looked at these difficult economic times and decided to make them more difficult for our employees by firing them all." Nice. Always a great move. Also, I don't see how they can say with a straight face that none of their ongoing projects or releases are going to be impacted by laying off the entire team. Even if they are just a publisher firing everyone and "restructuring" the company is going to have some kind of impact.

Layoffs are rarely immediate - perhaps the contract lasts until release?
