Must have been bad blood if he wasn't even given the opportunity to resign and save face. I can't even imagine the vipers nest of toxicity that building must be at this point.



Might be a severance issue. If he resigns, no severence. I imagine if he is fired he gets some. So he might have forced them to fire him. I know I would.

I interpreted that as he was asked to resign. Which in practice most people consider the same as getting fired. At this level it's rare for someone to actually get terminated though, you would have to do something illegal or highly inappropriate. It's almost always that you're asked to resign and you get a generous severance package to go with it.
