This happened at one of my employers as well. They fired all the Ruby on Rails people and then had to send out new recruiting contracts to hire ROR people a week later as they fired them all!

They should demand to keep the severance and just quiet quit until fired again.

If they are on garden leave until Feb 2 with full pay and benefits, there could be a weird email which says "to keep your pay and benefits we need you to come and do work for us".

I don't understand how to integrate sources that say everyone was locked out of work but is still on payroll with sources that describe what happened as layoffs. It seems like telling everyone "please keep working but we will have layoffs on Feb 2" would have made more sense, get some labor for the money spent?
