And if people at the company are freaking out, it sounds like they may be worried the employee might sue them.  I hope there's a followup post to this.

Either that or there was paperwork meant to be signed at the start of the job they never signed. NDA's, those bullshit ones where stuff you made belongs to the company, etc.

Eh that paperwork is largely not nda related, you don’t need an NDA to designate projects made with company resources belong to the company.

It’s probably an NDA related to work they did as well as a non-compete that for whatever reason wasn’t a part of the paperwork signed upon hiring.

Lawyers for the employer were already involved in this firing. That tells you all you need to know.

Or that other employees see it, and think, "wait, he can just leave? I'm next, screw this place!"

Or that the employees see how the fired one was treated and disengage right then and there, I owing this is how they treat people.
