I feel sorry for this guy, but he will be alright in the end. Corporations create a facade of a rosy kindergarten, they lure in smart but immature guys like him, extract their energy and once they look depleted, they gaslight them into thinking they are failures and throw them out. "Until I had my next one on one with my boss. She shared with me some concerns about my communication and project management. She, and apparently others she gathered feedback from, felt like I hadn’t done a good enough job pulling other engineers into the project. She spoke of how proud she was of the outcome but that it didn’t excuse my less than ideal methods." Manipulative managers like her willingly fuse themselves with the beast that is corporation, and become its tentacles of some sort. But this guy has also learnt a lesson that he shouldn't seek happinesses in someone's approval. What his manager thinks of him matters very little and once he has grown out of this kindergarten mindset, he'll realise that he is his own judge and the only thing that matters and the only source of happiness is whether he does the right thing.
