I had one job where the writing was on the wall for our team. One big indicator was when our director out of nowhere dipped out to a new job.
For a few weeks any time I mistyped my password and couldn’t get into a system I would think “this is it, they killed my access”.
They did have the decency to tell me first. Our whole team was gone within 3 months.
Reminds me of the time when I worked in a sprint retail store and one day we came in and the power was cut, there was no internet, and all our logins that we could access from our mobile devices worked.
We were told there was a clerical error and all was good.
Two months later when they were shutting down our store they admitted they were planning to shut down the store and were just two months early with the logistics.
Last year they fired a guy from my team but didn't cut his access first. In the 15 minutes between HR talk and desktop support actually closing his accounts he managed to send messages to all C*O and some managers telling them how unfair it was (it was totally fair) and accusing the company and his manager of racism.
