Actually, no, you probably can't ask that question either - because the names of the individuals who have departed are pretty much all publicly known. (There's even a timeline in which all their names are mentioned, linked from news articles and other "external" locations.) In many jurisdictions, it is potentially illegal for employers to disclose such information; many would feel it unethical for an employer to disclose the departure conditions absent a mutual agreement between the employer and the departed. California human resources law would allow for a civil suit that could result in a large settlement, either individually or as a group (think high-tech employees lawsuit). This is an area where "transparency" very definitely intersects with the privacy rights of those individuals who are directly affected. Privacy should win.
