Getting the laptop back doesn't log anyone out.

Getting the laptop back doesn't log anyone out.

A lot of businesses are bringing on seasonal help right now. Most of those people will leave in January. What happens to their accounts that day?

Sagiss surveyed 1,000 people who left a job in the past five years. 79% said at least one work account kept working after their last day. Among those who'd left companies with fewer than 250 employees, it was 82%. Even when the employer collected their equipment, 82% still had access to something. 26% could still reach financial records or payment systems, and 17% still had admin accounts or shared company passwords.

Most of them weren't trying to get in. They just found the door still open. A third said nobody clearly owned shutting it.

That's the fix. One person owns the last day. They work from a list of every account that person has: email, shared folders, payroll, the bank portal, the scheduling app, the shared logins. The list starts on day one, when the accounts get created, not on the way out.

And any shared password that person knew gets changed the day they leave, not when someone remembers.

If you're onboarding this month, start the list now.
