> 3. Have two people on the call with each person. One to deliver news. One to take notes.

Two against one does not seem like the most humane way to do it IMO.

> 4. Have IT terminate their access as you start the conversation with each person. If someone needs access to get family photos or something, you can help them later.

What about sending a message to all your friends at work with your new email address, so they can reach you later?

It's not about us-vs-them or 2-v-1. This is about liability and accountability - especially if the affected person is/can/will-be litigious. You would be very surprised what some people "hear" during a normal conversation. A simple passing phrase like "I wish I could keep you on, but" could be misconstrued to something completely different like discrimination (age, gender, etc).

Keep things simple and record the conversation. No need for two people.
That requires two party consent in many states.
