This one time, someone got laid off. It was scary. The end.

At my client, they call people into a meeting, lay them off, and don't allow them to return to their desks. Security escorts them out. Their personal belongings are boxed up to be shipped to their home address. We often find out someone has been laid off by seeing a box with their address on it in the office.
