Are they really a key employee if it is decided that their services are no longer needed?

The weird thing is they didn’t even have a bad year. They were 21-14 and finished upper half of a league where the top 5-6 teams were all between 24-10 and 21-14. Last year they were 17-16. Year before was 20-13. Year before was COVID.
