nakedmolerat: I would have thought the company should not let him go on holiday with a work phone!
mrtoken: So after reading the doc it looks like MRP wanted to find a way to get him out, there are comments in the doc about him getting 10k to move but then going back requesting another 5k, issues on "some" of his work before going away.
