The change was noted in the company links for distribution inquiries. Most companies don't discuss the terms of employee terminations or resignations unless a hot topic was at the root of it and could hurt them if not disclosed. Usually for compliance reasons, so if there are no legal concerns the information is not critical. If the guy screwed up badly enough, or got caught banging the cleaning lady on his desk like George Costanza, LOL it may have been time to clean out his desk and put someone in his place that could bring some serious talent and get it done.
Is that sort of thing frowned upon here? Cause I really don't remember any one telling me that when I was hired.
