I am looking for a single word that you would use when someone has left a company. This can be because the person quit, they are fired, retired,…
I was thinking about Discharged but that seems like it only means fired.
I thought of other words like Out of service but that just feels like it's a machine.
Is there a single word that I can use to describe this status?
I really need it to be a single word.
I want to use it like a kind of “stamp”
to add over the person’s profile picture in our intranet.

Any person who leaves a company for whatever reason becomes an ex employee.
The OP can join the compound with a hyphen, i.e. ex-employee, if a single-word is absolutely necessary. Google reports thousands of instances using this form.
