I have experience (directly and via friends) at international companies with offices in Japan. When they announce layoffs, they immediately lay off their US employees. A month or so later, they lay off their European employees after going through some process. The Japanese employees are safe though because apparently it's very difficult (or impossible) to lay off Japanese employees. However, they will tell the Japanese employees they're having layoffs to trick them into quitting voluntarily.
