You might want to take another look at your paragraph:

> Having been a Googler for ~6.5 years and written dozens of project documents, incident reports, and what not, I knew how to put the case for Google team when they would come back to work in 2 days.

That certainly reads as an advantage that most non-Googlers would not have.

Thanks for sharing, I see now what you mean.

I'll share the doc I prepared and sent to Google in my consult, in one of the next posts.

FWIW, I didn't intend "deeply dissatisfying" as criticism against your writing, although I phrased that poorly so I can understand it coming across that way. If anything I feel for you when that unfair surprise hit you. It just sucks that it's possible, and that the odds feel against us when we're seeking a refund.

it's an advantage, sure, but still he was right in saying he did not use internal connections as alleged. calm down everyone.
