I don't think I've ever seen anyone admit to major organizational failings like that. I haven't worked for a company in at least 15 years where every single bit of access I had wasn't revoked within minutes.

When I last changed jobs in 2021 I watched the Outlook app on my phone. My boss walked me out of the building at 1:00pm, took my keycard, and the app access was revoked at 1:07pm.

Not the new management's fault.

I believe that's a reference to IP, not actual physical systems.

Its more distopian than that. The "trade secrets" are pieces of knowlege inside peoples brains.

They are suing on the basis that someone somewhere said "when I was at twitter we used tabs not spaces in our code"
