Resignation and communications

[Greenbot35]

Hello all

If an employee hands in their notice following correct procedures and working their notice is it acceptable for their employer to cut official forms of communication to other colleagues and human resources whilst the they continue to work?

Thank you for the opinions all.

It's always best to leave on good terms. Even if references aren't actively sought it's not difficult to contact somebody in the old firm for an off the record chat. In certain industries people will know other people and you do see the same faces cropping up now and again.

I agree and I have done all I can, I was just a little hurt when I completely followed procedures, carried out my duties professionally and politely but within 2 minutes of my written confirmation being handed in I was ghosted on all emails and teams. I thought it was rude and could make it seem im not trustworthy. Totally uncalled for.

I hadn't realised it was from your personal point of view and you're absolutely right.

Actually it just reminded me of a time when i was told to do the same thing to a member of staff by the CEO. She'd had the temerity to hand her notice in. He asked me to tell IT to cut off her email access, go to her office, make her clear her desk, take her work blackberry off her (shows you how long ago it was) and to escort her off the premises. My relationship with him had deteriorated at that point anyway so i had no problem in telling him that i thought he was trying to humiliate her for the sake of it and i wasn't going to do it. He wasn't a happy bunny.

I feel that's what trying to go on here.
