Hi, Ken
That is now illegal. There are specific methods of informing survivor
employees AFTER the layoff has occurred. The law is very clear on this.

I once had a manager who came to work dressed in a long black gown,
wearing a black hood and mask, and carrying a scythe. He would walk up
behind the employee to be laid off, tap him/her on the shoulder, and
crook his finger and say, "Your time is up, my friend. Gather together
your personal belongings and come with me". 
The day after he was finished laying people off, they fired his ass and
he was escorted out of the building.
They ended up paying umpteen million bucks in the class-action lawsuit
brought about against them for this manager's antics.

One of the worst layoff's I ever went through, even though I didn't get
laid
off, was a big one where HR would get on the PA every half hour or so
and
read off a list of the next terminations. This went on all day, very
nerve
wracking and a VERY long day!
