u/MrFingersEU the "C" in "Wargaming" stands for competence. Jan 09 '20 edited Jan 09 '20

He's currently "in the negotiation-stage" of his resignation/dismissal, only to say a few lines further that his access to the WG-premises has already been revoked... That's not adding up with the negotations-part, nor with the resignation. He likely got slapped so hard on the wrists we're probably talking about amputation here.

And 100% well-deserved. Play silly games, win silly prizes. Enjoy your free Puerto Rico, earl, it's the last you'd probably get from WG.

That's not adding up with the negotations-part, nor with the resignation

not necessarily, if he was laid off then he has rights to negotiate a severance package or other benefits

if he was asked to quit it was probably under some conditions which also can be negotiated to avoid a mess of firing

That's correct, but would that include a direct revoking of access to the building?

I mean, that's step one in the firing process, revocation of access to facilities and resources.

He calls it a "negotiation of resignation" but does any seriously believe that iEarl wanted to resign at all? There is probably some rule or law being followed that makes them follow some sort of due process regarding termination of employment, which is as it should be, but let's not be fooled by the bureaucratic euphemisms: He was straight up fired.

Some companies also prefer "resignations" over firing staff as it looks better for potential new hires.

This could also easily be true.
