Yes, it's the norm. Typically they'll call a mandatory all-hands meeting (or a mandatory meeting with the laid off people with HR or something), and then when that meeting begins they deactivate those people's access to everything. They announce the layoffs and hand out final paychecks, and have security guards escort people out of the building.
For people working from home, depends on the company - most will send a message to the laid off person's personal email and immediately lock the person out. If they don't have a personal email on record they'll just lock them out and send a letter in the mail or something.
Yep, pretty shitty behavior. They do it to keep people from retaliating or organizing a protest or starting drama or whatever.
To me the really weird thing is the way people talk so positively about getting fired on linkedin.
