I agree with what most people here are saying - there is certainly a lot of WTF's in what she wrote that doesn't quite add up. BUT! When someone is leaving a job (ie is working during the notice period and is still being paid), I would still expect that they fully do their job until they've actually left - doesn't matter if they quit or "were let go". Doing otherwise is, IMHO, very unprofessional. Having said that, in this story, he was expected to work after hours, so he had absolutely no obligation to respond. So, given the circumstances, what I said above doesn't seem to apply in this case, unless it was in his original contract to be on call like this.
