Calling it a "thesis" is awfully generous. It really doesn't matter if it accomplishes the same, but I have a hard time believing that the author was so deliberate. The simpler explanation is that he was just emotional and complaining about perceived unfair treatment. Sympathy can lead to action, but provoking sympathy on an irrelevant point can lead to action you never expected. It might simply lead to finding the manager in question and dealing with that one problem. Whether thoughtful or emotional, focusing on the process itself would be more likely to inspire the prescribed changes.

"The simpler explanation is that he was just emotional and complaining about perceived unfair treatment." I didn't get 'emotional', I thought the OA was actually quite measured and well written. The audience isn't Mr Bezos of course. What I did get was annoyance at the lack of quality in the process. I agree that the author has not established that the lack of quality arose from the hiring policy. If the first manager had not been reassigned, would things have been better?
