    I remember being the server guy who had to stay late on Fridays and remove access at 6pm.

    I got a panicked call from someone who couldn’t save the file he was working on. It was for a project set to go live on Tuesday.

    I had to break it to him that he was just let go.

        In many companies access is removed before they’re notified so vengeful employees can’t go in and fuck things up right after being terminated.

          With my access in my last job, I could have crippled the company with 5 minutes notice.

          It’s horribly passive-aggressive, but it is safest for the company.

      Man I’ve been there too. You do exactly what HR asks you to, when they ask you to do it and all of a sudden it’s "oh whoops that’s actually supposed to be next week)

      Or like the meme says, it sucks when you get an email telling you to term someone at the end of the week and you have to interact with them all week.

        My brother was on the list of names once.

        I was not allowed to tell him, but HR let me take off that day and had someone else do it.
