In Calgary, I received a call from a meeting room on my floor. My supervisor was on the phone, asking me to come to the meeting room. There was an HR person in the meeting room as well. Supervisor said I was being laid off, left the room. HR person handed me my package and told me a person from the Outplacement firm would be coming in to talk to me about the services that would be available to me. HR person left, outplacement rep came in, spoke for a bit. Total process took about 15 minutes. Was allowed to go back to my desk unescorted to get my things. They give you an envelope to put your card key, Visa, phone, etc., and you leave that on your desk. They give you a taxi chit to get home.

At least they let you back to your office I went in meet my supervisor was told I was cut HR paper work then out the door. My boss packed up my office and shipped all the boxes to my house.
Same here, I am in Calgary - the same thing happened with me. Nothing to complain about as it relates to professionalism. I can gripe about the decision, but that's a different topic
