> There was a guy at Sun whom I helped manage out of the organization, he landed a job at a start up that two months later got bought with a full vesting of everyone. He walked away with several million dollars. It took a lot of thinking about that series of events to let it sit in my head without pissing me off.
Why did that piss you off? Sounds like it was a win-win situation for you and that guy.
- bruceboughton 14y agoBecause he's a normal functioning human being that can feel jealousy
- freyr 14y ago> whom I helped manage out of the organization I haven't heard this expression before, but it sounds like he had the guy fired. He didn't like the guy, or felt that the guy wasn't functioning well in his position at Sun.
- EdiX 14y agoI was under the impression that he had the guy fired for being incompetent/bad had the guy not been incompetent/bad the guy wouldn't have landed a job at the start up. In a way the guy got several million dollars because of his incompetence/badness like Mr. Magoo blindly walking out of a construction site.
- w1ntermute 14y agoI don't see how the other guy getting lucky hurts the OP. He was able to improve his team at Sun by getting rid of the guy, and that guy ultimately got rich anyway.
