Do all large US tech companies have employment policies where a long-term employee (who got a raise and promotion a few weeks earlier) can be forced out without even any prior hint of a performance issue?
I understand California is an 'at-will' state, but I'd think that the wealthy tech companies who compete to attract talent with free food and gyms would have slightly better management policies (at least for the long-term engineering staff)
Though given this particular individual apparently was an extremely early Facebook employee (likely >100M of vested stock options), he doesn't need the job security to afford rental contract in San Francisco (first month rent + 2 month security deposit, which can be a hefty sum in SF)
