as a cynic and a “I don’t trust, that’s why i verify” person, i do not believe the whole “my firing note WAS humane” excuse from him. i have a pretty good bs detector.
As a boss I hear a lot of BS. Except with very few people I’ve gotten so I just don’t care. Do the job or go away. People are so quick to claim some BS excuse for why they couldnt get the job done or made mistakes.
It gets really old paying people to do nothing. It usually means I’m working so they don’t have too.
