I’m thankful our HR gave us notice when I was in Desktop Support.
The rare occasion we received short notice from HR or the general exec of our tech division was due to an immediate termination, and that was usually due to people not passing probation, or for egregious behaviour like sending 100s of GB to their personal email after they resigned and we’re in their notice period.
Or we once had a guy who was completely off the rails… we don’t know what happened exactly, but a user called up and he was having a manic episode and was convinced someone hacked his account/phone and was listening to him.
We raised it as a concern and a few weeks (maybe a month or so later) we were asked to terminate his account.
I heard he had stopped taking his meds. Hope he’s alright now… he was a nice fellow usually.
