I left out a great deal of detail. We had documentation. We closely work with an HR lawyer, and consulted with her extensively about this individual long before firing him.
We didn’t get “scared” of his lawyer. Lawsuits are distracting and expensive for both sides even if the allegations are baseless, and we avoided one in this case by just offering a bit of a larger severance than we originally offered.
