| SuperNova said: Well, according to him Sony tried to pay him off so that he would shut his mouth about this. It's not like a corperation with that mindset would just come out and admit to heinous misconduct now. That being said this will be hard to prove or disprove unless Dave Ballard has hard evidence, wittnesses and names. Whatever the case, it deserves being taken seriously. |
Its common in the industry when you want to get rid of someone (mostly someone who you dont want to work for the company because they are a problem employee) you offer then salary x so many months (I've seen it happen in the UK at two different companies - not me but others, so I guess this could happen in the USA). Personally 20K is high, but apparently whats being said over at Neogaf this is quite a normal amount as it can take into account other factors such as time in Lieu etc.
Dont know why people assume that sony are paying him off, they could have just been trying to get him out of the company. The guy said himself he was having a breakdown, doesnt sound like an employee around if they are in that state. Not saying this is right or wrong, but there is so much in the air, too many people making assumptions one way or another.
