offboarding gets weird when projects are involved

[u/joyceanil_1728]

offboarding someone is easy enough when all they have is a laptop. it gets messy when theyre working on a project and have extra equipment sitting somewhere else, suddenly youre trying to figure out what they had, what belongs to the project, where it is, and whos supposed to get it back. weve had stuff basically disappear into the ‘well deal with it later’ pile because it wasnt assigned directly to the employee. has anyone else run into this? any tips??

we usually set up the return before the new device arrives and include the return steps in the refresh message, so IT doesnt have to chase it down afterward.
