I am livid.

The general belief is that the decision making didn't go below the VP level. Google is huge, so this often means 4-5 managers up from an IC.

Laid offs are rarely precise tool. There is a time pressure and avoiding uncertainty to get them done which sometimes prevents perfect outcome.

They refuse to share. I suspect they never will. I do not understand the reasoning for this decision to hide the selection method.

Yep, they don't want to get sued.
