What I find curious here is the staggered shut down of access. Why wasn't it all immediate? Sure it might have taken time for parking access to disappear, since that message would have been sent over to facilities, but email and keycard access should have been shut down instantly at any large employer.

My employer is I suppose mid-size, and the shutdown all happens very quickly once that ticket is filed, even though it's a largely manual process.

(Of course I also find it curious, and alarming, that no one could/would shut down the automated process in his case.)
