> It also should be immediately obvious that this is one person's story, with no information from the other side, I had an employee that was an insufferable asshole. Breaking his NDA. Not doing good work. Late. Running a scam raffle “for” his sick kid. Etc. We fired him for the first reason we could that wouldn’t get us a lawsuit. He runs around to this day bad-mouthing us because we fire people for the tiniest of infractions. It was a lot easier to prove he damaged company property than it was to fight a year for three lawsuit that involved patent and NDA laws. Not saying that is what happened here, because I don’t know. Just a totally unrelated anecdote.
