I hate to disappoint, but it's probably not personal.

Being walked out is the norm now. At least if you're in a position where you could leave with a lot of key proprietary info, or have direct/indirect access to cash. They're afraid you may do something malicious if you stay.

I've been "walked out" of several jobs. A few I’ve been rehired at later on. Others gave me excellent references.
