Contract worker. My team found out I was gone before I did.

I was a contractor at Twitter through a staffing agency. I found out my engagement had ended when my team lead messaged me on WhatsApp — personal phone — to ask if I was okay, because I'd disappeared from all systems.
I hadn't been told anything. My agency got an automated notification several hours later. No call. No explanation. "Engagement concluded."
Full-time employees at least got an email. Contractors got a system flag. My team found out before I did because they noticed my accounts were gone.
Two years of work. I wasn't even worth a notification timed to arrive before the access was cut.
