Sir, I must have been was 'really disliked' ... been let go a lot more than that but have, on two occasions, actually lost network / MVS access even before I was 'told'.... in fact .. on one occasion, they actually changed my network (local in this example) password and after my 'screen saver' came on ... I could not even get back into my work PC ... :-)
That said, in all honesty, I had actually pushed it so I expected It ... oh well ... :-) ROFL !!. I really and honestly do not mean to put anybody down or be dis-respectful but there are two characteristics that I absolutely abhor .. and even more so when it comes from my supposed management. I absolutely detest and abhor both, liars and brown nose'ers.

Either way, they lose immediate access to the company network and the mainframe. I was laid off, let go, downsized, etc., in 1974, 1987, 1993, and 2001. Only in 2001 was I not allowed to do anything else with the computer systems after receiving the news. In the worst of the three other cases, I continued to have access to the systems for six more weeks. I think you need a lot more data observations.
