What is really sad is that I read the OP as saying the individual will be \* retired.\* Which really had me confused (I think it was the word coworker that helped lead me astray).

I read it that way too originally. I thought this was maybe an observation thread about how his company needed an update for their employee handbook.

_snip_  
**C.XIV.14.f** Employees found to be cannibalizing co-worker(s) will be discharged. An employee discharged for such an act will not be eligible for retirement benefits.
