Termination Policy

I love hearing about the crazy ways that companies treat their employees. Here's a good one...

A friend of mine works for a large well known company that employs an interesting tactic when firing their employees. On the employee's last day, the unfortunate soul gets a call to come and pick up a fax that has just arrived. While the employee is away from their desk, someone sneaks into their office/cubicle and deactivates their phone and computer. When the employee returns from getting their fax, they suddenly realize that they have been locked out. Moments later, someone from HR shows up to escort them from the building. Nice huh!

It's a running joke there that if someone calls you about a fax, either don't go pick it up or start packing your bags.
