"You may want to give two week's notice, but from a security standpoint, you are out the door that day. Locks are changed. Passwords and IDs are terminated so you should have no access to files or other confidential information. That is the reality of today's workplace."
This policy always mystified me. If you've decided to leave and have decided to do something malicious, you would have done it before telling your employer. By the time you tell them, it's too late.

- mansr 16y agoIt's often simply a matter of protecting the company's secrets. The longer you stay, the more you might learn and potentially use against the company if later working for a competitor. A policy like that does not at all have to be rooted in paranoia. Obviously, most companies don't have any secrets of such magnitude that it would matter, although many like to pretend that way.
