I do wonder whether Slack employees learn about being laid off by losing access to Twitter

I will let myself out

The title is not entirely correct. The employee got logged out and locked out of everything. It's a sign of well integrated IT that this happened at the same time.

Ignoring the motivation and all the context around the lay-offs, it's probably the best way if you're going to piss of hundreds of people with access to various bits of the system.

It's the opposite of what you describe if people lose access before they get the ominous email it looks like a half ass unprofessional IT department that can't even do scheduling right.

No, it's how things happen in big corps. You lose access to everything. Any follow up is done via external communication, because you're not an employee anymore. You can't send emails as an employee or access old correspondence.

There was an announcement posted somewhere else that the Twitter employees got: either you get an internal email that you're staying, or an external/private one that you're gone.
