'Your employment [...] is being terminated for job abandonment': Employee resigns, then hears from HR 2 years later saying they were fired

Imagine quitting your job and moving to an entirely different city and then all of a sudden two years later, you hear back from your former employer. It's not a message to wish you well, and it's not even a question about a previous project from when you were employed there. No, of all things, it was a letter of termination on the grounds of "job abandonment." Come again?

 

The Redditor mentioned that their former boss was a bit disorganized, to put it lightly. That certainly explains a lot. How could he have messed this up? OP also revealed in a comment that they weren't a salaried employee and it's not like they were receiving pay after they quit, so there was simply no sign of this coming. Our main take on this is that HR is definitely up to something fishy here for their official records. The good news, and something OP should really remember, is that this bears literally no effect on their future employment.
