At financial institutions I've worked at, if you're getting fired you are taken to a room (managers office, conf room etc.) and immediately escorted out of the building after. No returning to your desk at all. Someone else will gather the belongings that you need and bring them like wallets/handbags. The rest of your stuff will be mailed/couriered to you later after someone has had the chance to go through them to make sure that there is no IP in them.
- ergothus 10y agojudging from the article, I was under the assumption that he had a poor review, not a firing. Possibly set to go on an improvement plan or some-such. This leads to a messy set of compensations: * When we fire people, they may take revenge, so we escort them out immediately * ...but then people start assuming the worst when we tell them they are doing poorly, so we stop doing that and just fire them once it's bad enough (escorting them out immediately at that point) * ...so then they start trying to guess when we are unhappy with them, and now we have employees that weren't at any risk of firing taking preemptive revenge... It's a mess, and the less respectfully you treat people in the name of "policy", the more it can escalate things.
