...the phrase "tendered our resignations". I've read on numerous interviews that they did just that. They were not fired. they quit.
As you pointed out, they did want to get in contact with Vivendi. Vivendi ignored them, and so they tendered their resignations as an ultimatum. They never got a word back from Vivendi, even to this day (according to them), so they left. What part of that dictates that they were fired? No part that I can see, unless I've been misreading English for the better part of my life.
Best to always get the facts straight, IMO. And if I am indeed wrong on this issue, point me to at least 2 sources that state so. Then, and only then will I buy that they were "fired".
