It makes sense to escort a disgruntled employee out, but security policies can sometimes get more than a bit silly. A few years ago I finished a computer contract in Washington state. The customer was happy with my work, and I was happy with the customer and ready to move on. When I was packing up my personal effects my supervisor told me that policy required him to escort me to my car. We were parting on excellent terms, but I could not be trusted because my contract was over.
I don’t think Betty should have been fired and she surely did not need an escort to get her personal things and leave the building. I hope she does not remain friends with Alex
As I’ve pointed out before, that policy also protected you. If anything happened while you were leaving, you had a witness that could testify that you weren’t responsible.
Betty is a smart, savvy comic character who is unapologetically ordinary, happy and female. Betty is a truly modern woman - a wife, mother and working woman.

@dcm1984 ~ ditto
I guess Dale has Betty’s chair now, doubt it will do him any good with “Hatchet Woman” Alex around…..
