Telling people you just laid off not to steal stuff seems like an invitation to strip the place including seeing how much copper wire you can get out of the walls.

Are they allowed to let the door hit their arse on the way out or not?

Honest players don’t.

These people are corporate scum capable of anything and assume the same about everyone else.

That memo is kind of chilling. Even if you're continuing with the new org it isn't particularly re-assuring.

Is me or does it seem like corporations are treating their office furniture better than the workers.

Sometimes the survivors have it worse.
