CEO complaints : employee not motivated after being fired
As a consultant rather than an employee, and someone who takes a similar attitude to employment, I totally get where the author is coming from. Employment is a transaction of money for work, not a marriage. I'll get annoyed is my hypothetical wife leaves me when my skills atrophy, but I'm not going to act butthurt just because my employer no longer needs a data scientits.<p>Additionally, it sounds like the employee was treated well. "eventually we agreed to terminate our collaboration <i>as soon as he would have found a new challenge.</i>" Maybe I'm misinterpreting the corporatespeak, but that sounds like a "start looking for something, we'll pay you until you find it." Not a bad deal at all.<p>And it sounds like the employee was <i>still employed</i> (albeit being paid to look for new work) at the time this occurred.
