That presumes they’ve left the company.
Perhaps it all depends on the meaning of the word “fired”, in a Bill Clinton sort of parsing.
Could be they’ve been “fired” from that position, and quietly moved laterally to keep them from becoming disgruntled, and away from a wrongful termination lawyer.
I’m guessing the latter.
In fact I’d almost bet money on it. That is, if anyone was fired at all.
I hope you’re right, because if no one was fired, I am confident that will be revealed, as there are too many people who would know too many details.
Again, there is big money to be made for anyone coming forward, regardless if the firing was concocted cover story, or not. Not to mention other networks, others in the industry with contacts, connections, knowledge, etc. Making your competitor/former employer look real bad is always a great motive.
