The way his comment actually reads is: "I really can't work out why I was let go. The only thing I have done out of the ordinary in the last few weeks was ..."
Which, as you knew, it wasn't.

Eh. You have an interesting way of understanding English I've never encountered before.
You also fail to provide said intepretation/explanation/whatever you like to call it. So...ya.
The guy basically said he was laid off because I pissed off management with his feedback.
then it would have been perfectly clear that this was an interpretation of what happened, rather than a literal description of what happened.
You basically started an argument on the internet over my use of "" to differentiate between his posts.
K. Glad we cleared that up and I don't really care anymore.
I dunno, how about interpreting it as what it says instead of making up an evil motive? It says he wasn't sure why and his best guess was that.
How else could you possibly interpret this rationally in a conversation about being laid off?
