So the employee could destroy data first, then resign. > If you tender your resignation and I continue to provide you access to the systems then I'm accountable for having continued your access to those systems. Well, if the employee is still an employee, and they need access to the systems to do their work… what would the alternative be? How could you honour the pre-resignation time otherwise? I’m perplexed by the sudden drop in trust at resignation time. If an employee is trustworthy, why should their attitude change just because they resigned? And if they aren’t trustworthy, you have a problem even before their resigning.
