My comments weren't aimed at you in particular. Instead, they were
meant as an expansion of the original comment.

Understood.

But I don't think
that the manager is any better off if nobody else knows. The
manager's still in denial, either way. Aside from the moral issue,
denial makes the manager fundamentally unstable, and therefore more
likely to make bad business decisions.

Well, I was thinking about it in a different scenario altogether?a terminated employee's coworkers (which is where I've encountered it myself). But either way, I have to admit that it's denial in that instance as well. I was off the mark in my original post.

Obviously, hypocrisy pushes my buttons. So, if I came on a little
strong, my apologies.

That's okay. It obviously hit home.
