Why should they dump their stock before being fired? Is there a reason not to wait a little bit? It just looks plenty passive-aggressive.
Unless, of course they believe the stock will take a nosedive shortly after (which never happens).
There was, in fact, a question at a recent “tea time” — bi-weekly employee meetings with top execs — about Rowghani’s large sale of his shares. Those in attendance told me that Rowghani got up and told the audience that he was not thrilled to answer the question, but noted that he wanted the money to give to research to battle a disease that took his father’s life. It was an emotional address, said those present.
