I don't know about coming in 3s, but I've seen examples where layoffs come in waves. I think what can happen is there's sort of a psychological barrier that gets crossed when they first lay people off. Once that ice is broken it can become easier for the management to keep looking to cut costs and let people go.

I wonder what kind of severance package one gets after being laid off….
Sometimes companies do eliminate people as reorganizations or layoffs that they otherwise want to remove but can't justify firing. I've also seen cases where a role was terminated but replaced with someone else. I'd be on the lookout because these are never good signs long term.
I don't think I have ever seen them come in threes honestly. It really just depends on the company. Sometimes there is more to follow and sometimes there isn't.
Once they start laying off, update your resume and start job hunting. If there is a cash flow problem, eventually they'll cut your job. It's better to already have skillets in the fire ahead of time. Some employers offer a severance based upon the length of your tenure; some offer nothing. They're not legally obligated to provide a severance, and if the layoff is because they're in a cash flow problem, they lack liquidity to give you one.
