Thank you both! Rohag, my husband has been talking to both the hiring "they" and the firing "they", and the latter has the last word. Nothing the hiring people can do about it.
He's been looking all day for job openings, and already sent out a few applications. He is so depressed, because for one, he doesn't have a job now and therefore there's no money coming in, and two, he has never been fired before in his life.

It is so hard for me to see him so depressed. It's not good. It makes it much harder for me to stay upbeat.

My husband is a hard worker, never misses work, always takes care of things, has great leadership skills, and he has experience in all kinds of fields. I'm hoping he can find something quickly.
