I always position it as it protecting that person too.
If someone does something on the system shortly after you've been dismissed, you don't really want there to be any question about it might have been you (if nothing else, you want to be sure you won't be scapegoated).
It protects both sides, which is far less harsh (though still won't feel that way when they come out of the office to find themselves locked out).
