End of contract stuff is an issue in the industry, with 15-18% being contractors, but that's it's a separate one - if you're a contractor you're going to need to find a new job no matter what at the end of the project unless you get lucky enough to snag a permanent role.

Layoffs for salaried employees at the end of a project is a systematic problem in the industry - This is a really good article from 2014 that's covers a lot of the issues.

    Yeah we're talking about the same thing, and also about how it affects companies that have to pitch to publishers. This is not that company. It's a company wholey owned by its publisher.
