I thought that Trump gave him the boot, but this morning NPR said he'd resigned.

(9,808 posts)I'd say it was mutual, but that implies agreement. Mutual hate, I'm sure.

(24,738 posts)Tramp abused him until he was forced to resign. IANAL, but this is a constructive termination AFAIK.

(64,860 posts)right out and saying it that they really need to submit that resignation letter if they don't want the embarrassment of being openly fired.
Usually in politics they let the person submit the resignation and thus claim to have their own reasons for leaving the job, so they will not be humiliated, since humiliating someone you might need on your side later is not a good way to succeed in politics.
But Trump simply cannot refrain from humiliating people. He is all about chimpanzee dominance displays.

(29,148 posts)the PTB (powers that be) allow one to resign rather than be fired.
I was "terminated" from one job in my career as a high tech executive but I tendered my resignation. Looks better on the resume and "saves face" for all concerned.
In this case, because it is all out in the open, it is clear that he was "fired" but allowed to resign.

(12,344 posts)He was escorted off Trump's plane and sent away in his own SUV. That sounds like a firing to me, and I am little surprised we didn't find his dead body in the Potomac.
