I've known many people who have tendered resignation letters and are then immediately ostracized by the company, security follows them around everywhere, they're asked to leave the building immediately, etc....
Don't do that. If this person wanted to cause damage, he would do so without announcing his resignation. Take some precautions, but don't treat him like an outsider. He's still an employee during his notice period; treat him like one.
Remember, he's leaving somewhere where he spent a good 1/3rd of his
Exactly. And the best pool of potential new hires are from previous employees who realize that the grass wasn't exactly greener on the other side. Previous employees already know your system and processes and can be back up and running within a week or two with minimal training. Why people would ostracize them is beyond me.
