Re: Egon Durban...tried to resign
This is probably mirroring that comic skit
You’re going to be fired!
You can’t fire me, I quit!
You can’t quit it’s in your contract!
What contract? You just fired me!
Ah, but we’ve not served you formal notice yet, just notice that you’re going to be given formal notice of being fired!
Reading between the lines, if he resigns he probably is entitled to a golden handshake. If he’s formally fired, he doesn’t get that. Or it’s the opposite way round depending on the lawyers.
