Okay, a random thought just hit me out of nowhere, but I use to hate office gatherings and holiday parties when I worked in an office, but I guess I usually had fun. Since I'm working remotely, I don't have an upcoming holiday party to attend which I didn't care about but after seeing and hearing about everyone's party...I guess I am starting to feel a little left out.

Afterward he said he was burnt out to his manager and then was fired a week or so later, even though the project recovered. Is there grounds here for wrongful termination? How does he argue for more severance?
