Obviously we can't be certain all or any of this is true, but if it is the board members should be ashamed of themselves. Failing to act for so long on the reports against Nguyen as employees were fired for standing up to him, and giving the guy a free pass because of his past successes is despicable.

I think it also shows some failings in employment legislation. His ability to apparently fire people at will wouldn't be possible in many other countries.



Only difference between "firing" and "getting to quit" is in the severance package.

That said, this guy seems like he may have preferred firing over getting employee to quit.
