I hear you, and I had the same reaction initially. But honestly it probably stems more from a complete lack of social skills and empathy for other biological entities than some air of entitlement or disregard. He probably just doesn't get how people feel, didn't know how to negotiate the social aspects, and found it easier to simply slip away.

Pride, guilt, relief, worry about the future, probably worry about all the remaining employees... I think anyone would be hard pressed to keep a stiff upper lip at a time like that.
