We fired a guy two weeks ago who is one of the biggest pains in the ass you could ever meet. He pissed off clients and potential clients to the point he'd become a liability. Two days before we freed up his future, he told me his daughter needed braces and him and his wife were living paycheck to paycheck, and that he'd had an interview for another job. Knowing this, I discussed with the other project manager letting him stay on until he found a new job, but in the end it was decided he had to go.
I think of all the heartburn this asshole caused me and I'm glad he's gone, but I sure hope he's doing okay.
