Knew this guy, very full of himself, thought of himself as an underapppreciated genius. He applied to a software dev position at a large tech firm (having barely enough qualifications), somehow bullshitted his way through the interviews, and got hired for a $250,000 senior dev position. Of course I got to hear how smart and how much of a badass he was throughout this process.
Then two months later… he is terminated for underperforming / failing the trial period. And I got to hear how everyone just ganged up on him, how he was “persecuted”, how his manager set him up to fail, and how HR was vindictive.
Although he got to keep the money and the sign-on bonus…
