I've had that happen twice - once when I resigned of my own volition, and once 
when I was "made redundant" by a company that folded soon afterwards.  The 
paranoia displayed is actually very funny.  One of the companies spent 
several thousand pounds with "computer security experts" to change all the 
account passwords!

One word of warning, though - if you've signed the "Official Secrets Act" 
beware - life can be made very difficult for you.  An old friend suffered a 
couple of years of persecution for deciding that he no longer wanted to work 
on weaponry!
