Mine happened in 2002. Similar situation. They couldn’t remote wipe me, but one of my best friends in the company had to watch me empty my desk and escort me out. I had access to terminate the CEO on down from the system so I get it. It was more uncomfortable for my buddy because most times this scenario played out was someone being dismissed for cause. Not my case, but my position meant it had to be.
It took a couple years to be in a better position, if not financially, at least to have more quality family time. However, it worked out well.
