What usually happens to people fired because of a scandal?
When someone is fired or forced to resign because of a scandal, what ends up happening to them? Do they find a job where people don't know about the scandal, or don't care, or they think they've learned their lesson? Is there any point in firing these people if they end up in the same kind of position they had before?

That is a good question, I have no honest answer because I've never given it more though than that. Thinking about it now, my guess is that (if they didn't kill themselves) since they have to do something, and have a set way of life they are familiar with, they find a job in a similar line of work, where their scandal was either forgotten or forgiven. After typing the above, I searched Bill Clinton, to see what he's up to. So if this source is anythign to go off of, I was correct. He found himself a line of work in politics that's not as big, but close enough to his original job, and since there is no mention of his scandal I assume it falls under the category of one of the two I mentioned. I also searched Richard Nixon and found a similar source with similar results. Until a rebuttal is presented I'm going to continue to believe this is what happens after a scandal, assuming the victim of the scandal lives. |
