There's nothing different here than has happened in any number of other companies who
have also had layoffs
over the past decade...
It SOP to have those laid off sign severance agreements, and to deactivate their card
keys and computer
logons; it is also not uncommon to have security guards on hand. Hey, if you were an
employee who was NOT
laid off, wouldn't you want some measures taken to make sure that your coworkers who
did get laid off didn't
at the very least vandalize property, including computer systems, or at worst 'go
postal'?

Hey, when I used to have an AOHell account, I almost always felt blind rage when I
logged in -- or more
accurately, attempted to log in to a system that more often than not has all access
lines busy...
I really experienced blind rage once I was able to get in, and was constantly
confronted with evidence that my
emails were being censored by AOHell, and that they were in bed with the fedspooks,
who took inordinate
interest in some very innocuous private chat rooms....
