I think it's kind of weird how a lot of commenters feel a need to take one side or the other in these stories. IMO both of the following were true:
1. The onboarding process at this company was absurd.
2. The author's response was to show contempt and derision to everyone else involved. The "everyone responsible for this is an idiot" vibe was so strong throughout both posts.
Running large, complex organizations is extremely difficult. I wouldn't want to work at that company, but I sure as hell wouldn't want to work on a team with the author, either.
