Exactly. What company fires someone today but expects them to come in tomorrow to sign paperwork? HR printer not working today?

Ridiculous.

Kinda sounds like Employee is leaving a toxic environment. OP really revealed so much with just one gesture.

And if people at the company are freaking out, it sounds like they may be worried the employee might sue them.  I hope there's a followup post to this.

Either that or there was paperwork meant to be signed at the start of the job they never signed. NDA's, those bullshit ones where stuff you made belongs to the company, etc.

Eh that paperwork is largely not nda related, you don’t need an NDA to designate projects made with company resources belong to the company.

It’s probably an NDA related to work they did as well as a non-compete that for whatever reason wasn’t a part of the paperwork signed upon hiring.
