If it ever came out it would most likely come from Dave. There's really nothing to be gained by the company to air dirty laundry. I handle HR issues every day and see people let go for a variety of reasons. It's never fun but it has to be done. It's usually best to give the employee some heads up, so that it doesn't totally blindside them, especially if its to cut cost. If it's performance or maybe legal incident then sometimes you have to make the cut immediately before the employee can sabotage the company.

Millions of people have lost their jobs the past year. It's very tough for people to go through. You have to get some support sometimes to move forward during this difficult time. Fortunately there are some great agencies that can help you get back on your feet

Good post.

SBR are here to make money and they have the right to hire and fire at their discretion. Maybe he didn't fit into what SBR thought they wanted - who knows? Well Dave knows and SBR knows. But that's beside the point.

But I do know one thing. I know that Dave got his notice a month ago but continued to work his notice, continued to partake in the Beat Vegas Dave contest, continued to post his froggie picks, continued to take shit from people who have nothing better to do than give him shit and continued to be a really nice bloke. And when it came to the end, he was classy enough to say his farewell and not talk shit (aside from a little jab, he's human after all).
