I second this sentiment.  Especially someone in a biz-dev role.  Can you imagine if he crossed the line like this with a customer?  It&#x27;s not something a budding business wants to ever deal with.<p>Someone who feels casually about this kind of misconduct with another employee - in my mind is someone who would feel casually about lying on an expense report and other things you just don&#x27;t expect people to do.<p>I suspect the lawyers would have you fire for no cause, give a good reference, support unemployment benefits, and potentially offer a small departure package.  None of that is really necessary - when confronted with the facts, nobody in their right mind is going to say &quot;I didn&#x27;t deserve to be fired.  I&#x27;m going to sue!&quot;  But in the end, protecting your business is your highest priority.<p>I also get the sense that this is your real desire.
