We also spent about $50k in just recruiting the guy, and will like spend another $50k to find a replacement. If he's willing to come back why not?
because it pretty much proves his claim that his performance was not the basis for termination. If he deserved to be canned then why now is he worthy of hiring back?

plus it nullifies the superiors authority. Re-hiring the guy means the superior does not have the authority to take actions like this. If guy is re-hired the superiors authority to act should be addressed. Maybe he shouldn't have the authority to fire without some over sight by others.
