I don't understand the article, the author says the current googler was one of his "ex-employees" but he is "the guy he just met". Am I missing something here?

  "the guy I just met" can be someone you never knew before or someone that you've just had a meeting with. I thought from the context that it was clear I meant the second version.

    This is just my opinion/rant. I just met this guy. Idk just doesn't conjure up the idea of someone you once knew. It's just loose language, that's why I was confused. Also you said you recently met him, then you say you just met him. Which is it? "The guy I just met who was once my ex-employee." This sentence just feels confusing. I can't tell you why but it does. A simple "He" would be much clearer.

      The verb conjugation is 'meet, met, met'. I can't help it, that's just the way it is. http://www.verb2verbe.com/conjugation/english-verb/meet.aspx http://www.verb2verbe.com/conjugation/english-verb/meet.aspx
