Will tech hiring freezes and layoffs affect EAs?

I've been seeing a lot of these posts in the tech forums. Are EAs also being laid off, rescinded offers, or facing a hiring freeze? If the exec you get hired to support gets fired or laid off, what happens to their EA? Do they usually just get reassigned?

You are safe as long as your exec is safe.

Depends on your performance ratings + the level of your executive.

My performance rating was golden and still got chopped. Was at a horrible company though, so tons of people got let go on a webinar.
