>that his manager was shit

I don't think he said that in the article. He implied that the reason was out of his control, but that doesn't mean it wasn't a good reason.

From later in the article:

>I still consider it an objective mistake for them to have hired me, back then

>I left on great terms with leadership and the people I worked with




The first quote implies that he had fundamental differences in how he thought things should be done vs what management or the rest of the people he worked with wanted. In which case it seems to me he'd have a pretty rough 5 years there.


The first quote is meant to be a humble statement.

"I still don't know why this awesome company hired my incapable self but I'm glad they did"
