“asked to quit”? What’s with that? What a strange statement. Is this something new?

It allows the company to avoid the messiness of a termination-for-cause (especially given that the shooter is a minority and could file EEOC charges) while also allowing the ex-employee to avoid the career ramifications of being terminated for cause. It's considered a win-win ... except for the NEXT employer, who calls the previous one and only gets told that "he resigned".
