Is it some sort of narcissism at play when you do a long blog post after leaving a company?

Yep, their pent up desire to say how morally or otherwise superior they are to the whole company no longer needs to be surpressed once they've left.

Have you been on LinkedIn recently? Everyone now writes a long sob story to the public about why they're leaving as if everyone else cares or believe what you're saying.

These guy think they're a lot more important anf have more clout so they're making it a blog post instead.

LinkedIn is cringe of such epic proportion that it is shameful.

Not necessarily, I don't feel, but close.

There was a recent blog about an epidemic of Neotoddlerism that explained that four attributes that we have as children and should grow out of contribute to cluster B personality disorders:

- Attention seeking

- Entitlement

- Grandiosity

- Impulsivity

This seems like just attention seeking, possibly with grandiosity but I don't know the author so I don't know.

Why do you think it has to be narcissism when there are other valid reasons to write a blog post after leaving?

OpenAI seems to always be in the public eye for one or the other reasons and after the CEO firing episode, any staff departure(including policy researchers) can/will be speculated in the media as a fallout with management if they remain silent.

May be they just want to preempt any speculations.
