Exactly. For security reasons, you have no other option, even if it's rude.

  That's ok, But the opposite should also be true. Don't scream 'disloyalty' when a employee wants to leave on a short notice.

    There's likely a severance package, so pay will continue for a period (usually at least two weeks, often several weeks per year of seniority). Not that this blunts the message much. And FWIW, I tend to agree with your comment regarding loyalty -- that ship sailed long ago, 1980s, possibly 1970s.

      For the employees affected, the "generous exit packages" is all that matters. Do you know what I consider to be generous? 6 months of pay, no less. What did they probably get? 4 weeks. It's disgusting to see this kind of language in an email, when the employees are obviously being screwed beyond belief.

  That is very US-centric. In many places (in the world) you are expected to for months after you are laid off. In many european contries, layoffs must be announced a long time before they happen (a maximum number but not specific jobs). In any event, you are expected to be loyal to the employer.

    It's also not uncommon to tell your employees they don't need to come in to work during that last month.
