Sucks. But I don’t understand the loyalty comment. Wouldn’t he have left this

He moved out here a few years ago from AR. Planning on retiring here. Just sucks

It’s super weird that they did it midweek and the 3 weeks seems odd

Magneto

Yes that is strange. And would they receive severance after the 3 weeks?

cambo

Yes, severance kicks in after the 3 weeks are done.
