No, he was mature enough to acknowledge that it was all his own doing. His downfall.
He swore it was an isolated incident. Doesn't matter from my side of the desk. He's unhire-able now.

I don't know if I can go through that again. In a way, he was like a son and I was pouring everything I know into him. He was good too! Bright and clever.
I hope he can land on his feet from this. I've been making calls already to try and find him work. But nothing so far.
