They're rock-stars looking for a digital roadie. The roadie doesn't care he's abused because he's "with the band".

They need to admit to themselves that they didn't treat the previous guy right for the kind of work he put in.

Honestly, given PA's history I'm not surprised by this whole situation. They seem like a great bunch of guys who suffer from some serious Aspie-myopia about how life works for everybody outside of their club, and they've had to fight enough trolls and lunatics online that they can't sort out the legitimate criticism from the noise anymore, so when they screw up they just double-down.

Why is it "Aspie-myopia"? People with Aspergers are entirely capable of understanding that other people have different thoughts, expectations, emotions, minds. They sometimes (it's a spectrum which means that not all have the same symptoms) have difficulty understanding others' mental state from body language and other direct social clues but they understand that people have different opinions.

You are spreading misinformation, and potentially insulting people in a throw-away portion of your otherwise good point. You don't need to be on the spectrum to be myopic.
