ICE notified Moore in late August that he was going to be fired and instructed him to come to the agency’s Philadelphia office, according to two federal officials who also spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss personnel matters. ICE had identified issues in his past, the officials said, including being fired from other law enforcement agencies.

The 38-year-old father of two had fought for his job when supervisors wanted to fire him in the past.

This time, he parked his car in a lot outside the office, and he had his gun. Law enforcement officers tried to stop him, but Moore eventually shot and killed himself, according to the Philadelphia Police Department.

    As I recall, it was years. Enough time that the orange moron and his handlers will fire them for “performance” reasons and they will (rightly) never see that bonus.

      After doing contracting for years I don’t know why anyone would trust “signing bonuses” that aren’t paid out immediately. If you don’t have it paid immediately, there is no bonus. It’s the same as “contract-to-hire” after 6 months. You aren’t getting converted at 6 months. It’s a 6 month contract then you’re out. They’re just dangling a carrot barely out of reach

        Yeah. File in with the other “lies recruiters tell that no one believes”; like the “we’re a family” and “work hard, play hard”.
