They did away with his division, reassigned him to a new department where you’re on call 24/7 working holidays and weekends
He might have a case for constructive dismissal; he might want to talk with an employment lawyer. Constructive dismissal can include “Making unreasonable changes to an employees’ working hours or place of work”.
Maybe, I’ll bring that up to him. But they’ve done this to every department. Project managers are now trying to handle way more than they should and techs are either green as grass or completely overwhelmed with work.
They actually pay us now for the services that they did away with within their own company (whatever sense that makes), so he basically has the same job, just with us. We work with this company closely so we knew him pretty well already and honestly we were happy to bring him on. No training required lol I think he just wanted to get out before his life got turned upside down.

Watch out - was there a non-compete clause? They could go after you for hiring him.
I don’t think there is. But even if there was, it would be my bosses problem not mine lol
