Can someone explain to me how you can fire someone that already declared to leave and do financial damage to the employee with that?
I guess it's some clause of a vesting schedule that gets triggered when being fired and he already declared his resignation before his shares were vested, but they would've been after his last day?
I find it so weird that he already quit the job but the company could actually save money by firing him. Shouldn't something except fear of a bad reputation prevent this kind of move to do actual damage?
- trafnar 4y agoSomething like: When he quit, he chose a last day that was after his shares vest, which his managers agreed to. When they fired him, it was immediate, before the shares vest.
- aenis 4y agoI dont think the management cared about the money the company saved; top level management rarely preoccupies itself with such pedestrian matters. It was about sending a message and reasserting authority. Management 101 in large, deep pocketed orgs. Btw, disciplinary firing of employees on leave is of course pretty rare but happens - also in those countries that make it difficult to fire salaried staff. People do stupid things, like steal, download thousands of documents, or write stupid emails.
