pursue other opportunities 

To be fired or forced out of a job due to failure or scandal. The "opportunities" to be "pursued" may include crying, applying for unemployment, eating cheetos, and watching daytime talk tv. A close analogue, usually used in politics or sports, is the departure "to spend time with his family."
