> If you give someone with access to critical information no notice about their dismissal, they might not have actually backed up their emails, contacts, or any other work product. That would be terrible IT if users had to explicitly back up any of their work. Hardware fails, or gets lost or stolen. Any even semi-competent company should have source control, regular IT-managed backups, etc., such that work isn't lost for any reason. Also ... why would you need to back up your emails? I can't even imagine a circumstance in which being let go would cause all of your emails to be deleted? They'll just give someone else access to your inbox on the email server if necessary.
