I fear that your knowledge of personnel law and corporate practice is
seriously deficient.
If it's common practice to make agreements which don't benefit you in
any way, then it's not me that is seriously deficient...
Not having to potentially go through an unemployment hearing and/or an
ADA/wrongful termination trial is a benefit (and remember, we don't
know how much they knew at the time).
I'm not sure what the standard is for non-profit officers, though.
I'd think the need for transparency is much greater in the non-profit
world.
Apparently they knew nothing, so I'm assuming she wasn't fired. (If
she'd done something worthy of being fired it would have been a pretty
big clue that she wasn't entirely trustworthy and honest.)
