No, this has not happened yet as of the time this answer was originally posted: until Jon Ericson, all former Community Managers who ceased to be employed at the company also ceased to be moderators after leaving.
Here are the CMs, past and present, ordered by period of service. This list does not count members of the support team as part of the group of CMs, although the answer is the same even if you do (at time of writing). (Note: current employees are not permitted to serve as volunteer moderators while employed, regardless of their job in the company.)
