My boss was new to all this. She stuck with me while I cleaned out my desk and let me go around on the floor and wish folks goodbye. I haven't had so many women cry over me leaving, but that's how it goes. I made it home by Noon.
Many people who get the ax will sabotage things as they go.
It's standard practice to have someone stay right on top of them until they're out the door. Someone who has access to a computer and isn't closely supervised can do a lot of damage in a few minutes. Someone in a shop can toss a couple bolts into a machine's gear box and cost them many thousands of $$.
You can bet that she was under orders to stay on top of you.
