There's the legal world and then there's the world of custom and ethics. They don't always diverge, but in my experience they do.

At least over the last 25 years in the tech spaces I've been part of, I rarely hear of people being dismissed/let go quickly. #anecdata

is this sarcasm? tech industry has some of the worst layoffs ever. i have personally seen several different employers notify employees day of firing they no longer have a job

No-one in this thread is talking about layoffs, they're talking about individual firings.

I don't care about the notice period. I care about how much severance I'm getting. I'd be fine with no notice if the severance was generous.

Not sarcasm. I guess I've just had different experiences than you.

The larger point of the effort involved before the employees' last day still stands. But that's a hard one to speak to generally, since most folks in layoffs or firings don't talk about the process used to arrive at the decisions.

You haven’t experienced the last 2 years of layoffs across the tech industry? Do you have any friends in the industry? Do you avoid news about the industry?
