It's interesting how you all are bringing up the law and contracts but simultaneously moaning about how cruel he is for firing everyone.

Yes, this is what happens when you choose to be an employee of a company someone else owns. You are at their mercy. That's the deal.

Even if he was feeling generous, don't you think there are more deserving people of that charity?
