> Is this normal during mass layoffs?

Yes, and for good reason.

A company I was familiar with in the 80's had a subsidiary in another state with a couple hundred employees. They decided to close that office, and lay everyone off.

Being nice guys, they gave the branch 3 months notice of the closure and layoffs, and expected them to keep working as usual.

After 3 months, the parent company officials arrived to find the office building empty and looted clean.
