Unless, of course, they are accused of something un-PC, then they apparently have no rights, are to be presumed guilty, and deserve whatever abuse anyone wants to throw at them for the rest of their lives. Apparently. Last edited by ApK; 09-04-2018 at 03:57 PM. |

Which suggests Hudson might be waiting for B&N to crash and burn to make a move.

Even if they hadn't paid him and said nothing he might have gone quietly to protect his reputation. Being fired by B&N is survivable; getting accused, even by implication, isn't. They tried to get cute and left him no other option. |

While this wasn't handled smoothly on both sides no one will win. Last edited by Fbone; 09-04-2018 at 12:53 PM. |

There would be a lot of chaos in the fall of B&N and "in chaos there is opportunity." |

But since he is suing for breach of contract to get the severance, wouldn't the B&N counter have said he refused the severance he now is suing to get? As for winners, the lawyers on both sides should get plenty of billable hours. |

The keyword is alleged. Suspend him until the allegations are proven or dis-proven but firing him and going public? Where I live, we still remember Rachel Marsden. Yep, that swimming coach was harassing and/or date-raping me over dinner while coaching a swim meet in another province. Not to mention several other cases where she was involved in claims of sexual harassment that were later shown to be dubious at best.

In the business world empty words move stocks and markets. Which is why silence is so valuable and NDAs so common.
