Right, so he made a bad decision by taking the job. It's still much better to realise you made a bad decision and cut your losses (by quitting), than blindly sticking with it.

Given he was about to quit anyway if he wasn't offered a raise, there was no harm to asking.

But then it looks like Jeff Bezos didn't teach him when to quit.

There's a difference between a bad boss and making a bad salary negotiation when you take a new job.

Nice post anyway, but it's a little bit like "I've seen it in the tea leaves".

Edit: typo
