July 31, 2001 was Scott Yeager’s last day at Enron Broadband Services. He testified at trial that he was fired because he didn’t play “the Enron way.” What he meant by that is he was not what Enron called an “originator”; he was not out closing big deals. Incidentally that wasn’t in his job description and he was blindsided by the whole thing.
While at EBS, Scott Yeager achieved a great deal and was well-liked by most who knew him. His departure from Enron was a huge loss to Enron, whether or not Enron realized it at the time.
