Marty was a contracted employee, he didn't just get a fee for each game he produced. Marty had received a significant raise in the last few years, but was now asking for another. This created tension between him and the board (some of whom already felt he was overpaid). A verbal argument ensued recently between Marty and a member of the board. Shortly there after he was let go. So there was certainly 'cause' but one that a lot of us felt could be worked through. But money talks. The board feels they can get someone for cheaper, and without the drama, that will have a better ROI. So basically it seems that tensions rose to a breaking point, one the board felt they couldn't work past, or didn't want to deal with, so they let Marty go. I'm not saying it was right (I don't think it was), but that is the situation. |
i'll assume "bungie_employee" is not verified but the story feels like it could be true.
...there is always a reason even if it is a dumb one. i've seen more than a few people get fired for no more reason than their boss didn't like working with them. honestly, anyone who gets in a heated argument with their boss kind of deserves to get fired,... shows stupidity in their choices.
anyways, as i haven't played any of the halo games i find myself quite indifferent.
