  I remember one time I was let go.
  I was busting my chops for this company, I guess they didn't want to pay my rate and the person I was working with was older than me; think i bruised her ego a bit. (both fresh out of college so age still mattered 23 vs 25)

  Either way - make it seem as if everything is fine
  step 1 (optional) pretend maybe your adding someone in who is overlooking the project - new project manager, new investor coming to oversee certain technical aspects of the project.
  step2 - casually ask for all the files and assets to accomplish step 1 or anything that makes sence
  step3(optinal) - change company emails or send an email about someone's password being stolen
  step 4 - ask for all passwords and make sure you have user rights - backup everything
  step 5 - give him a nice severance check - and note that its because of all the turmoil makes u need to downsize or whatever - maybe give the hope of being added to a new project thats starting in a few weeks(although this may not be nice - use just if you think your dealing with a vengeful person)

  • clarification - step 3 is to prompt a reason for step 4 - change his email as well ... nothing to alert anything here– persona_non_grata
