Thanks very much for posting this - I got a similar vibe (and I'm also getting the sense a lot of these comments here are just about the title and from folks that didn't actually read the article).
Basically, it felt like the author was trying to weave a narrative that Lorne Michaels is as toxic as, say, Scott Rubin ( https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-news/everyone-just-knows-hes-an-absolute-monster-scott-rudins-ex-staffers-speak-out-on-abusive-behavior-4161883/ https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-news/everyone... ), but his evidence just came off as way, way weaker, and so in the end it felt like a hit piece to me.
My guess is a better analogy is someone like Anna Wintour: someone notorious for being demanding and difficult to work with, but also someone who engenders loyalty of people that work with her - more of a "very tough but ultimately fair" sort of vibe.
