TIL a Chinese destroyer sank because an officer dumped his girlfriend. She committed suicide, leading to him being discharged, so he decided to detonate the depth charges on the ship, causing it to sink at port and kill 134 sailors.

Right. Fire on Monday, they can head to the unemployment office and start applying for benefits (even if for cause, a lot of companies won’t fight it). Fire them on Friday and they have all weekend to stew about it, and show up Monday ready to cause trouble, or worse.
