Handling Layoffs without Grace (Enterasys)
Just 9 days ago, I wrote about Ray Hunter, an Enterasys employee in Salt Lake City who was laid off. He'd been using his enterasys email once he left since the company said he could. Today my emails to him bounced. Yeah, I know he doesn't work for the company any more but how hard is it to grant 30 or 60 days of pop service? Or just an email alias?
Heck, if you are worried about the person still looking like they work for the company, just configure the mail server to append on send "This person is no longer an Enterasys employee but we are providing 60 days of email service while he/she transitions" at the bottom of every email. Not only do you make people's lives easier but you also make yourself look good. Are HR departments all clueless?
Note: I know nothing about the Enterasys situation but this, to me, feels sleazy.
