hi what is important is ethical behavior on part of the dismissed employee. however, if the guys under are moving then look at what is prompting this move. are they hand in glove with him during his action of commission and omission. in such a scenario, talk to the remaining entire team. give them a general pardon (difficult). have a cut off period for their misdemeanours. bring an inhouse guy with good character and experience, build a team around him. good riddance for the guys who are quitting. they maybe creepers who are not confident of working on their own and need a stick to lean on.
best thing for the company is to move on. survey the mess, take control of the situation. talk to your customers and see that they are not poached on (that is critical). let ur management circulate to these companies the action of the fired guy and warn him of the consequences for dealing with him.
not a bad time to start afresh. if possible bring back former employees who quit because they could not work with the sacked guy. give these guys good position, pay and responsibility. may work as they guys would like to prove their worth.
i have shifted 3 jobs in the last 4 years. as a matter of principle i did not go into competitor as i felt it bit unethical.
hope for the best. tough times last but tough people don't
