Allowing access to email until the end of day also seems an improvement over other US companies practices > We made the decision to remove access to most Meta systems for people leaving today given the amount of access to sensitive information. But we’re keeping email addresses active throughout the day so everyone can say farewell.

This is why you need real friends outside your workplace. When you get shoved out the door, at most your get the afternoon to be like "lets keep in touch!"

It's honestly pretty risky. I imagine quite a lot of confidential information is in email.

  Local caches etc make that risk already extant.

  There's some discussion and code in email, but most of it is on Workplace. We don't use email much. I have 32500 unread emails.

    They may archive old emails and allow only new email be sent/read.

    > We don't use email much. I have 32500 unread emails. That many unreads makes it sound like everyone is using emails except you!

      Ha, it's mostly notifications of updates and comments from either Workplace, Phabricator or Tasks. An email sent to me is going to be drowned in a sea of notification emails and it's very unlikely I would read it. I'd set up filters to clean up the inbox, but it just so happens that when something of significance happens, it's usually on Workchat or Workplace, so I don't bother with e-mail.

  My guess is all email activity for the remainder of the time will be closely monitored and audited by their security/compliance team

  Companies have email content scanner that detect business sensitive information. They work pretty well.

    At my org I cant even send my own SSN that's embedded on a zipped PDF. I too was surprised how well they work.

      Might be wrong, but isn't the workaround to this usually just putting a password on the .zip file?
