Wow, and so soon after Jeff Verkoeyen left. http://techcrunch.com/2011/09/26/facebook-ipad-app-saga/



I have no sympathy for that guy. Seems like he had a disconnect between the importance of his work and the greater strategy of the company, having a whinge over people putting his work on the back burner is very immature.


Company strategy or not, putting your all into something that never ships is a frustrating experience. Jeff presumably never expected his personal venting to be covered by TechCrunch.


Indeed it is, its a very common thread in my life and I'd say for a lot of readers here. It something you get used to and you learn to deal with, its called maturing, hence why I said it was an immature thing to do.

I don't go around bad mouthing the people paying my bills over my own ego.


I’m sorry but I can’t see how what he did was bad mouthing. He was honest.


It's not mutually exclusive.


I wasn’t claiming that. It was honest but nice enough to not be bad mouthing.
