I think the distinction is between 'feels bad' and 'makes this post'. I totally get why someone would feel bad about this, even despite the upfront agreement and the paycheck. I don't really get the post, especially if this can impact future career prospects (I've seen people judged for less). I've had negative emotional reactions to things that were entirely my fault and acted irrationally to them, but only privately. I think the distinction here is not in his negative feelings, those are easily to empathize with, but in the post itself and how it publicly portrays those feelings.
