Reaction I: Read some history, kids. Large employers treating their workers much worse than this has been a regular thing. For centuries.

Reaction II: Wasn't "fully remote work" a great new perk, that these employees were fighting for, just a few months ago?

> Wasn’t “fully remote work” a great new perk

Remote work wasn’t mentioned a single time in the article.

> Read some history, kids

Take this somewhere else.

many people don't comprehend the security implications of remote work. The potential damage from a malicious insider cannot be understated. Unfortunately, people who just found out they lost their job turn malicious.

Email opened - wait X minutes - cut all network access. Is usually the workflow.

The email usually contains next step actions and is the last communication given before network access is cut. There really is no other way to do this for remote workers.

When I witnessed the recent layoff, I was surprised they even gave anyone a warning. Some people were able to send a goodbye email.

I would have thought access would just be abruptly cut.

I hate not trusting employees, because i know 99% are not going to do anything improper.

The last decades show that things get worse. And must change.
