Seems there was lots of bribery going on all the time, he just didn't know about it, didn't take part in it himself:

> many employees younger than me, in lower positions, were driving luxury cars and purchasing homes

and it took until this event, for him to start connecting the dots:

> the partner in the deal [...] had been terminated four months earlier for poor performance on the sales team, and corporate policy prohibits former employees from working as partners

I didn’t get the impression that there was any bribery going on in the deals he closed himself. Even if he only became aware of that after the fact, he’d have mentioned that more explicitly. Instead, he argues that he was fired despite very good performance, and it would be hypocritical if that performance was only made possible by bribes. So I don’t think this adds up.
