First of all, that is one of the reasons I work for myself.
Secondly, if you think this never happens, you are more naive than
you let on. Do you honestly believe everything a CEO says publicly
about an employee's departure is true? Please say you don't. Why
should this situation be any different?
According to Jannie Blackwell, one of the conditions of Fenton's
severance package is that he not talk about it, Perhaps *that's* why
he hasn't said anything.
How do you know it's evolving and not over? You're implying you know
something the rest of us do not. Do you?
No one is saying negotiations about this are being conducted on the
listserv. People are simply giving their opinions about what they
believe has already occurred.
I am going to believe that someone else wrote this email and signed
your name to it. It really is that preposterous to me.

Frank,
If you distrust your boss so much that you believe he would say in
public, "Frank is not fired," after secretly having told you,
"Frank, you're fired" -- then, in my opinion, you should quit now,
before things reach this pass.
I might note John Fenton has not disputed in public this public
contention of UCD's, that he's still an employee. And he's had many
an opportunity.
All this is rapidly evolving even as we tap, of course. Real
negotiations about matters of importance never take place on an
unmoderated listserve.

John Fenton may well *be* fired. We've heard two conflicting
reports, neither of which, in my opinion, come from a reliable
source and both of whom are in a position to know and both of whom
have reasons to spin. The truth is we have no idea what happened.

So Fenton isn't fired, as of today. You were at that meeting and
you heard Wendell restate Fenton has not been fired. So there you
are.
