The second one did, but because he has proven to be too much of a liability to the department, the university, and to the Commonwealth, he is being asked to resign.

Has anyone else had any experience with this sort of thing? I mean, in our department that is 10% getting fired in a week and the morale is really going to take a hit. Thankfully, our director is going to be handling the brunt of this but this is a new experience for me and so I'm not really sure what I'm walking into when we make the announcement tomorrow morning.

My wife has it where they work.  It's especially in the call center.  While above minimum wage (I think they pay $11.00 to start) it's still in the price range where you are going to bring in some rabble.  They get a lot of good workers who are just trying to start somewhere, but there are going to be a few, and they are usually discovered pretty quickly.  The thing is, they aren't bad people or anything.  They just lack personal responsibility.
