Not everybody is cut out for every job. I was once essentially fired from a job as a checkout clerk at a small business because I was so atrociously slow at counting my register's money at night. Everybody had to sit around after closing, waiting for 30min, while I counted and re-counted my bank. This made me pretty unpopular. If you hate your job, for whatever reason, then find a new way to earn a living. Look for something you're good at: broadly, holistically, in general. This person sounds like a good programmer, sure. But they don't sound suited to the culture at Google, or as a participant in contentious new specifications. That's okay, not every job is for every person. There's lots of things to do.
