Exactly that happened to my best friend. He was picking up his rental car on a business trip and got the call to return home immediately.
Last time I was laid off, I was actually going to give my notice that same day anyway, as I had a much better offer from Verizon. When the boss called me i his office that morning and laid me off, I said, "No problem. Can I leave now, or do I need to finish out the day?" He was pretty surprised. Talk about landing on your feet.
