I think what LL meant was that the new HR policy REQUIRES him to leave in June due to his age. The only one who can grant an extension beyond this is HH. I get the distinct impression that he would prefer to stay and slog it out for a couple more years, but as he said, it isn't up to him. I think we should petition the relevant people to make an exception from this absurd policy in his case. God help us if he does go. It's hard to believe that even our management would shoot themselves in the foot so badly by forcing the best manager in the company to leave. It's sad but true!
