Hence the options in this instance. Again, we can all speculate but we will never know the reason for his departure. I have seen at my current employment, too many people "quit" or "retire" yet behind it all was a nudge of "Hey, don't you think it's time for you to go?" or "It would be best if you put in your resignation" from a higher up.

Call it gaslighting, call it victim blaming, call it whatever you like. As it was stated, Payton is master motivator. He will use whatever at his disposal.
