2. "Seeking opportunities elsewhere"
That was the corporate line for, he/she was fired but chose to resign with "a package" smaller than he/she would have liked, but can now say that he/she quit to seek opportunities elsewhere.

Are we talking about Prince Bandar? here or some other Saudi flunky. I've been busy all day but if it's Bandar, holy shit!

Prince Bandar bin Sultan, who has resigned after 20 years of serving as Saudi Arabia's ambassador to the United States, is one of Washington's smoothest diplomats.

This was dated June 30th
