    That’s why you disable their account before telling them they’re fired.

        The US is at will, nobody gives 2 weeks for termination unless maybe it’s a layoff. If a company has grounds to fire you they just fire you. Most will be smart enough to disable accounts before you’re even out the door.

          Even in locations where you are required to give notice, you can just pay out the notice period.

          “Most” is optimistic. I don’t have statistical information proving otherwise, but anecdotally I am not so sure. A big company like Disney with their own team of IT and official policies and this still happened is exhibit A.

        If you’ll find for course you don’t get given notice. If somebody is breaking the rules and being dangerous you don’t want them hanging around for another 2 weeks you want them gone now.

        If it’s a layoff then yeah you get notice

      In a company as blue-chip as Disney, the discontinuation of access and privileges and security clearance are indicators of imminent repositioning, likely firing if you’ve engaged in mischief (such as voicing your opinion or comparing salaries).

      It’s why you give sweet Christmas presents to the awkward guy in HR and invite him to all your socials. Blow him if he’s into it. He’s your intel source regarding who is in danger of discharge, and if the boss doesn’t like you.

      This disgruntled guy had to be lower rank than the mailroom if HR wasn’t given notice, and his access was super low priority. No-one cared.

      (Yes, I’m bitter.)
