Right, yet the employee's emotionalism here, stems from many employers making this an emotional event.

So my "no reason for it" was stated with this in mind.

As an employer, I'd like to know. Other employers seem to be vindictive, which I find bizarre. Worse, enough employers act this way, that they poison the pool.

Then these same employers act surprised, and wonder why they get little warning when an employee leaves.

Silly.
