Yes, it's quite obscure. The meeting with the COO that asks for a brain dump and then fire him the morning after is the most troubling.
Did the COO want to get what was on his mind so the company would lose nothing by firing him? Or was he utterly disappointed about said mind?
I really don't understand what any of this has to do with swagger.
Yet it is true you have to find it, and it's not obvious. Many times, what you're good at is what you can do better than others with less effort. But we can't see it because we associate value with effort; if it's easy for me then surely it's worthless?
Well, no. If it's easy for you (and difficult for others) then that's your trade.

In abusive environments, there is no logic, both things can be "true" at the same time. The COO wants to hurt him by firing him, but on some level also realizes that his contribution is valuable. Just because they want to get rid of him, that is no reason not to use him for one last time. (Usually this works the other way round: people are told that they are worthless, but also that it would be highly irresponsible and unethical of them to leave. Somehow, both things can be "true" at the same time.)
