Interesting. I thought it was pretty standard to have your direct manager and
someone from HR break the news in person to whoever is being laid off.
I guess I wouldn't really care either way - maybe less awkward if not done in person.

When I got laid off, I would have much preferred an email than hearing from the guy who called me.

I think doing it in person shows more of a backbone.

I do think that is the standard when no notice is given...

A period of time to start looking for something else is valuable though.
