It is because “personal responsibility” has taken a back seat to “who can we sue and how much can we get”.

What a moron. He throws a 40-year career away for 1300.00, then has the gall to sue for age discrimination and emotional distress after openly admitting his criminal activities.

I can only dream of that kind of job stability. The stupidest thing is the company probably would have fronted at least some of the party if he had just asked.
