Why were his benefits voided after 19 years of work? What does it have to do with identity?

How much leeway does HR have to yank earned benefits? After two decades of doing the work, seems like they are entitled.

If someone lied about getting a degree, would HR pull the 401k after a 20 year career? Faked a few certifications? Any lie is enough?

They can’t yank any vested money, whether it’s 401k contributions from the employer or accrued pension benefits. An employee of 19 years shouldn’t have lost much but missing a 20-year milestone for a pension might’ve hurt.

This is the case even if you’re convicted of a crime, let alone just fired.
