My boss, with whom I had a great rapport, was fired on Wednesday. It came out of nowhere, and the company is extremely secretive about it. The only information I got was that it was not due to any performance issues with the office, and that supposedly there is not any intent to close the office. Which leaves the following possibilities:
1. They're lying and really are planning to close the office. This has happened to me before, and seems to be pretty standard procedure anywhere. Irony is: everybody knows this happens, so the lack of information generates the same panic as just telling everyone up-front.
2. My boss was living a secret life. Scandal ensued.
3. He chewed-out a client with some creative vocabulary.
4. He chewed-out a contractor with some creative vocabulary.
5. He embezzled something? I dont know how, or what.

There's almost no other possibilities that make sense, which speaks to the opacity of the situation when #2 Double Life is actually plausible.
#4 I've seen him do, but for good reason because the contractor wasn't paying his peeps and as a result: they weren't showing up. Or other various feats of incompleteness were happening.
It's really weird.
But as long as it isn't #1, everything will get back to normal. I really don't want to leave because the place fundamentally rocks. And I'm really going to miss him.
