Reply to comment by AurelianoTampa in Austin’s city manager fired over widespread power outages by Sebekiz

Because it was part of their contract. I'm sure the wording was based on the type of termination, and they allowed it to be the one that gets him the cash-out.

In the end, it was probably cheaper to give him the cash-out than defend themselves in court and then pay the cash-out, interest, and lawyer fees.
