SORRY about your downsizing jb. goodluck in finding your next venture.
in the old days you didnt have to worry about disgruntled employers doing distructive things or maybe taking home a few perks. maybe running up a phone bill and bad mouthing the company in general. basically given enuff time any exemployee can do a company damage even if they are generally a nice person. getting let go makes a person act funny sumtimes so it is generally the practice to show them the door that same day if not that same hour and usually with security escorting you until you go.

Sorry to hear of your job loss. Hopefully your little green friend has

BTW, has anyone else noticed that the trend nowadays seems to be that, in
the event of layoffs, the person is shown the door that day (or sometimes
that very hour). Whatever happened to "two weeks notice"? My current
employer had bucked this trend for a while, allowing folks to take a week or
two to wrap up any loose ends, pass on their records/files to a remaining
employee in an orderly fashion, AND to use the company phones and printers
to try to line up another job. Now, though, there's been changes in
management and it's the old heave-ho, out the door you go, same-day service
that everyone else seems to favor. Oh well, maybe I'm just old fashioned.

- Eric.
