One place I worked at briefly would call the cops and have them escourt you out if they thought there was any risk of "disruption or back talk" (their words). I decided not to work for assholes who lay off little old ladies and then to add insult to injury, call the cops on them.

"Pardon, Officer, but we're firing several employees today and would you like you to assist. We're concerned they might say bad things to us."
"ON OUR WAY!"
This is a disgusting scenario. I hope they weren't misusing on-duty police resources for this.

You could tell the cops weren't happy about it. These were women in their mid 50's and up who worked front desk jobs, not really a risk of violence.
All they wanted to do was go get their personal items and say goodbye to their peers. Some of them were forced to leave phones and purses behind and wait a week for them to be mailed to them.
It's one of those times in life where you see the mask slip off and realize who the people you've been dealing with actually are.

How is that even legal? I wouldn’t leave without my personal belongings or I would file charges for theft with those cops.
One company I worked for (a bank) had an office outside of the security gates, mainly used for exit interviews; they would disable people's access cards and accounts while that was going on.
