Does that even come up?? If so, just turn it into a positive. Got laid off like millions of others, like Warren buffet says, don’t let a good crisis go to waste. Want to use this time to reflect and learn and explore my career oops at your school
Do not lie. There is a background check after you've been accepted to verify all your dates of employment. If you lie, you will be kicked out.
Make it a positive! Got laid off.. here’s what I did with my time!

I don’t think there’s a clear textbook answer to this
Be prepared to answer it though when it comes up, you can provide supports to why you were laid off and how you overcame

For everyone asking, it can come up in two ways- In my employment history when they ask about reason for leaving, and I also have the chance to mention this in my optional letter. I’m thinking of writing a few lines on how I adapted from the situation in the optional essay.
Yeah leave the optional part blank unless you need to explain low gmat or low gpa. Your lay-off is not something to balk at, ppl get laid off all the time. You’d simply talk about what happened as you discuss your employment history. Keep it brief, if you got laid off and opted for school say that. Nbd.
Were you laid off because of COVID? If so, then I doubt you’ll be dinged for that

What programs are you applying to?
I’m sorry to hear that you were laid off
That said Covid ain’t no secret to the admission committees. They understand things aren’t normal. As other people have said just be prepared to explain it, be upfront about it, and move right along. Not your fault there’s a global pandemic
