Good in theory, but most people at these companies are accessing their work email through a work-controlled device, and that work device should be locked and inaccessible to employees when they're laid off. So they'd have to log into their work email on a personal device, which if you've set up MFA can be a nightmare, especially if people set up their MFA using a work 1Password/Lastpass/etc account, since they no longer have access to that, either.
Logistically it's a lot easier to just have a personal email on file where you can send the termination notification.
- bombcar 4y agoEven the setup that locks a work device (and I feel the dirty secret these days is often people are using personal laptops for work or work laptops for personal use) should be able to display an email-length message.
- mjr00 4y agoDisplay it where? On a MacOS lock screen when the user can't even log in?
- bombcar 4y agoYes - anything that locks the device entirely should replace the login screen with a banner - update this basically: https://i.stack.imgur.com/eFcDS.jpg https://i.stack.imgur.com/eFcDS.jpg I know I've seen one with a contact email for if it's lost.
