Anyone else with the constant feeling that they will find themselves on the cut list even though they have been giving their best all this time? Maybe I'm overthinking it and thus becoming too worried, but the manager's behavior has suddenly become very strange.

I'm trying to manifest being on that list. Gonna be real mad if they lay off one of my coworkers and not me.
Managing director here. Performance is one component of the overall analysis but totals less than half of the result.
FWIW, your performance plays no role as to whether you will be let go. The layoff should target low performers, but all previous layoffs they have done show that high performance means nothing to them and it is purely a numbers game.
Likely your Manager is completely in the dark and feeling the same way you do.
Yea. Same here. Constantly replaying conversations with my manager. Scrutinizing each IM and email. I started here thinking it was going to be a better place. Now I worry about my employment even more than I did at my last company.
All. The. Time.
