I was temp laid off after 25 years

i was recently hired as the regional manager for a company. The company had hired 800 staff in the last 12 months, to turn around and lay off 200 of those employees in the same 12 month period. This appears to me to be in bad faith. They have provided the mandatory 1 week of severance plus offered an additional 3 weeks. Does this seem reasonable?

I accidentally deleted photoshop templates, and downloaded a software to retrieve them, they had already been back on the system. When the owner had notice the time they were deleted, she had told me to leave. Even after I explained they were already recovered, she didn’t care for an explanation and I was left to stand outside of the building until my ride arrived.
