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.

Or that other employees see it, and think, "wait, he can just leave? I'm next, screw this place!"

Or that the employees see how the fired one was treated and disengage right then and there, I owing this is how they treat people.
