As the MC explains in the next few lines, he is being given paid leave so that they can get him out of the office while they frame him as the fall guy for the previous month's bad business. The paid leave is essentially the company saying 'Here's a short vacation before we ruin your life by firing you for incompetence so no other company will dare hire you to save face for the executives/managers above you'.
