that's because they don't want you to know when you're getting fired.
I used to watch the category for decoms that had keywords in the subject line. someone from HR found out somehow (loose lips probably) and they stopped making tickets entirely.
it's a shame really. I had a really awesome script watching the same criteria for my name 🤣. nothing heinous, just some farewell messages and dirty laundry.
It's weird, I got laid off by a west coast tech giant and they gave me two months' notice, and they were happy to have me doing nothing that whole time (and I'd had nothing to do for about six months prior to that). I was remote so I guess they felt that I couldn't fuck shit up on the way out.
sounds like a nice place with good lawyers.
