The Color Coded Termination Box

Anytime an employee in a white-collar occupation leaves his job, he always manages to leave with an empty copier paper box full of his personal items. Anyone who has ever worked in corporate America has seen this icon many times and the sight of this is often followed by other co-workers whispering to each other wondering what happened with this individual. It's embarassing enough for this guy to explain to his former co-workers that he was given the "corporate axe" as he makes that last walk down the hallway with that infamous copier paper box. But if you color code the boxes with a label of some sort, everyone will know the story without asking. Therefore I propose the following color codes:

RED will indicate that the employee was fired for making a bad mistake and/or not properly doing his job. ORANGE will indicate that he was terminated as a result of being suspected of wrong doing but would not prove his innocence. (e.g. if they accused him of stealing office supplies but he refuses to allow his car to be searched) YELLOW if the employee decided to quit after the boss said, "You better give me one good reason as to why I should not fire you!" and he figured that his job wasn't worth fighting for or perhaps there were irreconcilable differences. GREEN if the employee willingfully decided to resign without reason or incident. And finally BLUE if the employee is resigning in good standing and is due to get a grand send-off party as he goes on to persue other career interests.

Also, I figure that white or beige could be good colors to use to indicate that an employee is just moving his desk or making a latteral move in the company. I can recall many times when I thought someone was quitting or getting fired because they were packing their desk items into that box only to learn that they were going to a different division of the company.
