When I read it, the first and only comment under this at DailyWTF was sympathetic towards Peter. I hope that commenter had just skimmed it and missed the point.

- pohl 17y agoThank you for pointing that out. I went back and re-read the blue comment and there is more there than meets the eye. Although Peter is painted to be a sociopath in the article, not every whiz-kid is pushed out because of one.
- dschobel 17y agofrom the highlighted comment: After that experience I never hired a Bobbie again. I would conveniently overlook them. I still believe that I am doing them a favor. So the commentator is sparing the 'wiz kids' from the shitty organization because he knows their enthusiasm and talent will be wasted.
