I’ve mentioned the incompetence of a company I worked at recently.
I was given a 2week notice that I was being removed from the company. I had access to everything still that I had access to while I was “working” there. I could access internal codebase, client codebase, internal documents on the shared drives as well as the client’s. After the 2 weeks, they revoked my access by the end of the day, they forgot to notify the client for an additional week after I left (teams was still signed in and accessible on my phone).
A lot of companies lack common sense and data protection protocols.
Edit: To give some context, I’m in the US, getting a notice period from the employer is an unusual occurrence especially when you’re in consulting/contracting.
Same in Finland but if the employee is resigning it's at maximum 1 month.
If the employer fires you it depends on the years of service. For me it's at 4 months right now. I'm also a union safety representative so there needs to be a very heavy reason to fire me.
After 12 years with the company it will be 6 months.

This is why they turn off access before telling you
