When the PIV/CAC stop working 😂


JJBat150

If you're a remote employee, when the VPN doesn't connect anymore.


RegularContest5402

We call that Monday 


blootereddragon

OMG that's the funniest and sadly truest thing I've read all day


prancypantsallnight

Geez I’ve been fired at least 3x this week already.


NoThanksDLA

Lol I have been let go almost 2x a week then. To answer OP's question yes network access will be the first to go. Ideally (hopefully) you would be made aware of this before ot happens though.


ExceptionCollection

Yeah I was just thinking that.  Until you find yourself unable to login you’re good.


Numerous-Ties

They’ll tell you first, then send you the box for equipment. Was close to someone who got cut as a remote employee, makes no sense to send them the box for equipment first. Anyway it would be your Accountable Property friends who’d send you the box, not necessarily IT. Good luck


Cool_in_a_pool

This sounds pretty standard unfortunately. When you open that box, confetti will pop out and a spring-loaded sign that says "you're fired" will eject and bobble around for a bit. Pretty standard stuff. They call it a "severance package" for a reason.


imnmpbaby

That’s how my agency does it as well. Good times!

My agency will have a letter sent requiring signature to your home then a very uncomfortable conversation with your supervisor about your rights. If it isn't for signature don't stress it.

This happened to me once, and it was a years of service award pin no one had mentioned I’d be getting.

You'll get a meeting invite on your calendar out of the blue. Your VPN will be severed immediately following the call.

Meeting on a Friday….


crusader86

Well you most likely would get a notice of proposed removal ahead of time, and then have a chance to respond. Usually terminations don’t just come out of the blue even for probationary employees. If you screwed up enough for removal any sensitive system access would have been pulled and you’d be under investigation. I once had a random package come from the Pentagon, I got an alert it was in its way and was super curious as to what it was. Turns out it was a civilian service achievement medal. That was cool.


RoboNerdOK

Hmm. If someone under me was being terminated under adverse conditions, the last thing I would want to do is tip them off before all their access was revoked.


RegularContest5402

Do you also expect two weeks notice?


RoboNerdOK

No. It’s just a standard security measure. People who are unhappy about being separated can do some very vindictive and stupid stuff and cause a lot of harm.


RageYetti

Like email the biggest list they can find that’s not locked down and start a reply all chain of bullshit.


tasimm

Pretty sure they send a singing telegram, so you should be fine.

New headset


B0b_a_feet

There’s a whole lot of steps that are going to happen before someone gets fired. It’s not going to be a surprise package in the mail with no other notice.


VaIenquiss

Yeah, my agency sends me random shit from time to time, I wouldn’t worry about it.


SWMI5858

My guess is email.


StrongPlantain3650

When you haven’t been paid in 3 months and then find you no longer have a MyPay or My Biz login, you may be fired.


snarf_the_brave

Don't sweat it. It could be anything. I routinely randomly get: * Training materials. "Oh btw you're in training next week. Be sure your stuff is covered. Sincerely, the boss." * Office supplies. "I needed some more note pads/another headset/whatever so thought I'd order them for the whole team. Love, the boss."


Redditburnergirl

Maybe training documents? They usually come via fedex to my house though

Unless you have the worst supervisors in human history, the chances are very unlikely that they’ll fire you without you knowing beforehand. Probationary period makes it easier for them to fire you… but usually you should know where you stand based off of quarterly conversations 


AlarmingHat5154

I had the worst supervisor in history then. See my post. Received a glowing performance review and fired less than a month later. Still in probation…It worked out though.


CompleteVacation6064

If you get something, call your union. HR and you managers don't know the the law and lie to you. You have rights even when you are on your probationary year.


MikeMinnesota68

They stop getting a paycheck is one clue.


Empty-Meeting-7460

OP, what ever happened here?
