In every case where I have had to fire an employee I have always called him into my office. While I am doing the evil deed the Tech Support guys are removing his access to anything in the system.

This is why.

If they have personal information or files on their work computer they can tell the Tech Support guy which it is and TS guy will pull it for them and burn it to CD or print a hard copy, (which should tell you how long it has been since I fired someone).

The fired one will be walked out of the building to their car. All personal items will be packed up for him and delivered to their home address by FedEx the next day.

This is very basis security.

“This is very basis security.”

Story sounds fishy as it’s hard to believe that an operation as large as Disney, able to hide mass numbers of pedophiles, would allow a guy they fire to still access their systems.

Probably quite a bit more that we’re not being told here (like he had a helper, perhaps).

Couldn’t the person fired claim that you didn’t send him ALL of his personal effects? Sounds like a solvable problem but I have no idea how to do it.

When I left my employer of 30 years, my access to the computer systems including employer/employee email was locked out even before the separation process began, as I was on extended vacation and hadn’t logged in for over 10 days when I decided to retire.

In order to keep my access, I was required to log in every 8 days even from remote locations. I didn’t, and that would not have been a big deal if I went back, as IMIT had no problems with re-enabling legitimate requests, but system security was paramount.

Hospital physical plant setting, for those curious.

I’ve been fired several times. In no instance did I ever lift a finger to sabotage my (former) employer. In my last firing, I was teleworking, and instead of being a whiny b*tch, I simply UPSed my lap top back to headquarters and mailed my badge to my boss.

You might want to make sure they're off any messaging accounts too. For 2 years after I retired I received notices of every staff meeting, get together, special day off, extra work shift, etc. I didn't bother telling anyone because the woman in charge was an overpaid know it all and I thought it was funny that she couldn't tend to basic maintenance of the message logs.
