A very important issue here is how much was Vanster getting paid at his job? Was his salary above the mean of other people in his area? Did he have tenure at the company, and did he have good room for growth.
Follow-up question is the job he has now in WI is the pay significantly less/more or same as previous and how do benefits compare.
***** makes a guy do some weird things and I could see if he'd been lonely for a long time if he already had a ****ty job then who cares.
