I have never read that he denied leaving Carnival. The fact is that he is still loved and respected by employees at Carnival as has been documented on this board. Everyone knows managers are escorted out the last day. I was when I retired from my job with DOD. I gave the security person my CAC and keys, then they showed me the door. LMAO
My wife works at a hospital in Dallas that does the same thing. If anyone is fired, security walks them out to make sure they do not take or do anything to harm the business. Some people get angry or vindictive when they loose their job. It is standard procedure for some companies.
