As most of you know, I posted a thread last week lamenting about how I was laid off from my job. I was allowed to grab what I could carry from my office and was then escorted out of the building.
Not a chance I'm leaving peacefully.

Mine made me sign one to get one month's severance. It specifically named lawsuits I was not permitted to join.

I used to make the HR Director my best friend at work. It didn't hurt that the first one was beautiful and 6 feet tall. And most of the others I became friends with. I never had a negative comment stay in my record more than a month. Even when I left after a big argument she (the first) told me (regarding my personnel file), "That's funny, I see nothing about it in your file."
But, I know yall's point.

It does not matter whether you do or don't. It's a personal preference. I like people walking into a warmer environment.
My wife lightly decorated my office with some family black and white photos on the walls, a big snake plant in a nice pot and a couple desk photos of my kids. My co-workers have similar.
Then you risk being in the same situation as the OP. He'll never get compensated for his ruined personal items.
If you have outside clients coming into your office, I can see decorating, otherwise don't. We're men after all.

Eh. OP’s situation seems rather extreme. Most situations I’m familiar with have allowed the dismissed employee time to remove their effects. Typically after hours or on the weekend with security or staff present. Or at minimum, removed and boxed them for pickup. Not shipped them locally.

One thing companies hate.. is bad social media posts. Tag them directly and post your complaint and someone will respond within 10 minutes. If it’s a national company that is. If it’s a small company, they won’t care.

Being an a-hole to your former company on social media is something your future employer will find out. Let it go man

My work partner was laid off and walked out last year. Just a reduction in workforce. The HR rep came and collected his personals. His backpack had a loaded Glock 45 9mm inside it. He kept it on the back of his desk chair everyday.
No chance on rehiring him.

Why do you have this stuff in you work office? It’s work…it’s not your man cave. Never understood people that do this.

Send an invoice, eventually leading to a lein on their property.
The calye of those items are your value, in many cases.
Send a ridiculous invoice, certified, and wait

I've seen a major chemical company do it the way the OP stated for every level of employee including operators. Escorted off the site immediately and belongings boxed and either brought to them outside the site or sent to them. Can't take a chance of somebody going postal I guess.
