> I saw this happen multiple times. You tell them you're leaving, and get escorted out by security. It's just not worth the risk for them.
Right, but did they cut off paychecks too?
Being walked out of the office is equivalent to having your access removed like I said above. It doesn't mean the person is fired, it just means they don't have access to sensitive information.
In practice, it's not really a big deal. If someone is going from a high-paid FAANG job to another high-paid FAANG job, the new company is usually eager to have you onboard. They can move your start date up. New compensation might be higher, too, so it's a net win.
