    He specifically chose that his resignation would take effect today, because they a paycheck today. Gotta milk it for every last little bit of cash they can grab!

      There are a lot of things worth criticizing him for but I don’t think this is one of them. You and I would likely act the same if we had the choice of timing our resignation.

      I was reading that his entire staff lost their jobs so I think it was more for them then him. To give them time to find new jobs.
