In reply to Amir Helzer.

In my career, which started a long time ago, before there was Internet to worry about, businesses had standard procedures in place so that, if we had to fire someone or lay off a bunch of people, we could protect the company, shareholder and employee livelihoods.

The first thing the unfortunate individual knew about his or her impending departure was that their building entry pass no longer worked, or, the company car was no longer in the car park. This was shortly followed by the necessary discussion with their line manager, or company meeting where it was made official.

I have had years of experience seeing what people do to retaliate against the company that decides they can do fine well without them, so cancelling logins 2FA etc., all seem like sensible "standard procedure" to me.

But there again I am old school. Not all touchy-feely and frightened of hurting people's feelings as seems to be prevalent these days.

I guess this kind of incident is just a logical outcome of treating people more like people and not ticking time-bombs.
