I was with PayPal for over 10 years, and was on both sides of the layoff experience. While PayPal does take very good care of their employees, they have zero loyalty. You will be employed there exactly as long as you are perceived as useful and not one minute longer. If you have been laid off recently, fear not; having been a PayPal employee is a very good pedigree and there are ample opportunities out there. Keep your head up and stay motivated, better things await!

Yes if the company is going to fail that would be one thing, PayPal is trying to bolster its stock price for its investors by outsourcing the jobs. They still need the work done they just don't want to pay Americans and Europeans for it. That is an entirely different thing.

They should tell them they aren’t being useful or help them to become useful rather than just letting them go without any reason.
Should they keep you around if you're not useful to them anymore?
