QUESTION
Is it illegal for a company to send out a mass email to employees announcing that an employee no longer works for the company?

More details to this question:
I asked my place of employment if they could start letting us know when employees no longer work there. I thought it would be a good idea to keep everybody up to date on who works at our company and who no longer is with us. Management told me that it is illegal for them to send out an email notifying the employees that someone had left.

Generally, it is permissible for an employer to announce to employees that someone is no longer employed by the company. Many employers send out such communications (either e-mails or "hard copy" notices, or both) since they want employees to know a person is no longer an employee for security purposes. However, it is also permissible for an employer to have a policy that it will not make these notifications.
