Nick was supposedly fired for failing to meet goals, goals he was apparently never informed that he should be targeting.

Sounds like they were manufacturing a reason to fire him, then.

Yeah...I'm sort of wondering where the guy works. There are some places where there are significant financial and legal differences for companies doing an at-fault and not-at-fault termination.

I mean, I'm not saying that it's impossible to fire "many" at once for legit reasons, but it'd be unexpected, unless you had a bunch of people collectively engaging in some sort of improper behavior.

And the fact that you apparently had other people resign in response to the people being terminated makes it sounds like there are other people who felt that whatever was going on with the terminations wasn't okay.

Depending on employment law in his state, that may be actionable.
