I walked into the office today to find my desk mate’s computer gone and her chair pushed in. We’ve worked side-by-side for three years, and management is literally pretending she never existed while divvying up her massive workload among the rest of us. It’s chilling how quickly they can erase a human being here the moment they stop being productive or decide to leave. Is it normal to feel this level of mourning for a coworker?

That level of callousness is not terribly unusual. I've had coworkers who were let go and they were never mentioned again. It was almost like people thought it was bad luck to mention their names.

It can be abrupt, but that is work in most places. I’m not sure what the expectation is for the company. You are allowed to be sad that somebody you are used to seeing and chatting with is no longer there.
