That's why companies use SSO, so when they lay off someone, they just have to disable one account.

    Not necessarily to justify Gizmodo in this instance, but Slack does paywall their SSO feature behind their Business+ Plan, which seems to currently run $12.50/mo/user, which is about a 70% increase from their next pricing tier. See: https://slack.com/pricing

    Given the price difference I wouldn't be surprised if they didn't want to pay for that.

    Edit: someone later in the thread linked this page which helps explain why this is generally a bad practice https://sso.tax/
