Reasonable countries don't allow companies to fire employees immediately, hence access cannot possibly be revoked instantly.

- mike_d 5y agoJust because you aren't fired instantly doesn't mean your access can't be revoked. The company just says "your new job is to stare at the login screen until HR can schedule a meeting with you."

- jfrunyon 5y agoI would say that not allowing a company to fire someone immediately, say, if they're looking at porn on their work computer during work time in front of the entire work office, is unreasonable.
- meepmorp 5y agoWhat country on earth won't allow an employer to lock you out of everything and escort you to the door if they deem it necessary for their security? Employed or not, your access isn't under your control.
- midasuni 5y agoThat’s a non sequitur. Access can be revoked on a machine with something like an MDM system the next time it gets network access, whether you’re fired or not. Certainly if a machine is stolen I’d expect it to be remotely wiped. Same with a phone. If you have hardware that isn’t under an mdm system though that’s different.
- brewdad 5y agoEven if a company can't fire you immediately, they can certainly revoke your access and remove all of your responsibilities while they process your termination.
