Isn't this practice pretty common in Finance? I've heard of people who when they resigned (or fired) immediately got their access revoked and were escorted out the door by security (or if they were lucky, swing by their desk to pick up their stuff).
- bombcar 4y agoIt's very common in Finance or anywhere where employees have "potentially unreasonable access". Often you get perp-walked or called to the boss's office, and someone boxes up everything in your desk for you, and you'll be escorted offsite afterwards. Most will pay you your two weeks or whatever in cash, the risk of an employee using their access to do harm is considered too great. For many other types of jobs, including potentially software development, the risk is considered minor (all code is backed up, everything is in Git, transitions need to happen, etc).
- Symbiote 4y ago> Most will pay you your two weeks or whatever in cash Really? I assume you're in the USA, and in finance that could be several thousand dollars of cash you're handed. Everywhere I've worked (UK/EU) would pay you in the same way as they were already paying you, i.e. electronically, or decades ago by cheque. Isn't this much easier?
- bombcar 4y agoAh, by "in cash" I meant in funds immediately, which, yes, usually would be the last direct deposit they send you. They don't literally hand you a stack of hundreds, though that may happen in some manual labor jobs.
