Sounds like a case of:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sad_clown_paradox

> Sad clown paradox is characterised by a cyclothymic temperament, which encourages the creation of light-hearted humour in a professional setting, despite inner turmoil.

If we're going to do analysis on no information, I would guess you have a lot more "inner turmoil" than the subject.
Bit rude to armchair psychoanalyze. Also wouldn’t change anything about whether the firing was justified.
If innerX and outerX are opposite, hey that is significant.

If innerX and outerX are same, I told you so, its obvious.

Psychoanalysis in a nutshell.
