I noticed this too. When the author mentioned crying all day that stuck out as unusual. Getting fired instantly and paid for two months feels like a win here.

Getting fired vs having your company shutdown affects you more personally. It takes a strong person to not think I suck and this was my fault. Being in that situation I wouldn't know how to explain it. Looking at it now I would be honest and say we created an a and the team was let go after the demo to investors.
