Only if they ask. If they do, then you can simply say you were laid off due to restructuring or business environment …anything vague like that. Don’t volunteer any information unless asked specific questions
Thanks

You don’t have to disclose it and employers won’t disclose it
Don’t ask, don’t tell policy.
When I interview, I use it as an opportunity to sell the best version of myself. Everyone goes through difficulties in their career and you shouldn’t let those define you in a negative light.
So, not only don’t volunteer the information but if it does come up, make sure that you focus the story around how it’s helped you grow and learn—really paint the narrative in a way that demonstrates your ability to grow from difficult feedback/past, so recruiters feel comfortable hiring someone willing to learn/grow.
