Weirdly, Amazon had far more compassion than Google here. When my role got eliminated at Amazon, I got an email at 5am PT to my personal email telling me that my role was eliminated. It also told me what I would still have access to, and how to access them from the outside.

Crucially, it said that I would still have limited corp access until 1pm, and then told me which things I still had access to.

I got on my work machine, and found that all of my previous emails had been erased (or at least blocked from my view), so I couldn't download an email archive or otherwise see anything. I also couldn't send emails externally anymore. Most of my systems access had been cut off where I could have downloaded or exported anything "secret" as per the email.

But they did let me send emails internally. I still had slack access to affinity groups. So I was able to shoot off a bunch of goodbye emails and slack messages.

And true to their word, at 1pm, my laptop rebooted and I was then locked out. But at least I got to say goodbye and share my personal email and linkedin with a bunch of people, and they were able to send me "so sorry to see you go" replies, which was nice.
