I've worked with Surojit; he was an absolute superstar. He rose through the ranks on the basis of mountains of backbreaking and incredibly impactful work.
He also had a terrible reputation of being an arrogant prick. People hated working for him (or so I've been told). I've heard he made grown people cry.
None of that is true, so far as I know. I remember him as kind and considerate. That doesn't mean he wasn't demanding, but he was quite fair, and sensitive to the impact of his words and actions.
I can spot (maybe unintentional) ambiguity from a mile away. Whose backs were broken, and who did the work.
