I spent 2.5 years running the largest HCLS engagement at one of the big three cloud providers. 55 engineers, $18M revenue, $31M in bookings. My peers wrote glowing feedback. My customer's CIO keynoted the company's flagship conference. My review said I needed improvement.

This is about why that happens — and why it's not just my story.

Still sounds bitter even if you were right. I would reconsider this approach.

Fair. Though I'd argue there's a difference between bitter and just telling the truth with receipts. I took the severance, built something new, and haven't looked back. If it reads as bitter that's probably on me as a writer.
