    Are you a software engineer? Imagine you demonstrated your new code to the team, it didn’t go well and afterward your manager took you aside and recommended you read Chapter 6 of “Coding for Dummies”?

    I've been in that situation more than once, and none of those situations made me want to fire anyone. For example, last fall I was in a project where I implemented some frontend features without considering accessibility. A designer in the project told me what I did wrong, and recommended to me that I should take an "introduction to accessibility on the web" course. I thought it was a good idea. I took the course, I learned a lot of things, wrote down notes, and still refer to those notes every now and then. At no point did I feel like I need to fire someone for recommending I take a course on something that - frankly - I was supposed to know how to do in the first place.

    I’ve been in software engineering for decades and I can tell you a rounding error of 100% of every software engineer I’ve ever worked with would spend the rest of their day looking for alternative employment after that.

    Ok, well after this discussion you will hopefully adjust that percentage down a few points from 100%.

    I think maybe the other thing you’re doing is skipping over all the other immature and unprofessional things the OP said he did. Did you read where he created a user story explicitly for the purposes of mocking his manager to the team? There’s a lot to unpack in this train wreck.

    No I didn't skip over those. I read OP. But I wasn't commeting on OP here. I was responding to a comment made by kcplate. According to his comment, just the book recommendation alone was sufficient grounds to not renew the contract. That's the comment I was arguing against. Not the totality of OP.
