His sponsor, necessary to be an RA, died. Nobody was left that wanted to sponsor him, so he was renewed, but with RC status. In that status he still had access to everything he needed to do his work. He did not lose his job, he was simply changed to another status due to circumstances.
I also love how he likes to use the "turning in the keys" incident to claim persecution, although the SI was redoing all the locks, so everyone had to turn in their current keys. He also lost his office, oh no, persecution! Yeah, he was part of a larger shuffle of personnel, and got a nice new office.
BTW, I hope he finally learned to keep proper care of our artifacts. He should have been fired just for that gross negligence.
Which ones did he lose or destroy. Read the emails. Someone offered to sponsor him.
