Although I'm happy you quit and did not get fired, know this now does pull some of the poetry out of the above line, which I had previous read as some sort of backhanded a compliment given the other (fictionalized) ending.

Perhaps I'm being overly-sensitive but Harry comes off as really looking down your nose at "good enough". For example, there certainly seems no love lost on you and Tom fictionalizing (?) the character as Dick's "secretary."
