That was a cost cutting measure.
It was cheaper than keeping him around.

But that's just crazy! There are folks in Chicago who would put him
in a trunk out in long-term parking at O'Hare for under $20K. For
an extra $15K they'd leave him hang on a meat hook for a couple of

Wow ... when you fire a guy, he STAYS fired. ;-)

Well, given the choice between that and paying some screwup who
clusterfscked the company a quarter of a gigabuck to leave, it's very,
very tempting.
