In general you are lucky if you can find one HR guy to do face to face nowadays. Everything happens through ticket systems. They are like IT at this point and IT people are busy too.

The 3 year contract had a severance of 2 million, but his current promoted job as it's supposed to be more impactful, had an actual severance of 20 million (because they wouldn't generally fire these kind of people, they are those who quit on their own most of the time to move somewhere else or just to not lose face)
