Years ago I heard this story about a company in India that held a fire drill. Once everybody was gathered outside, they made the announcement that for about a third of them their key cards wouldn't work anymore because they were fired. My colleagues from India at the time said that sounded very real.

I had a coworker who had this happen at a former search company in the US.
