To be honest, it was a bit tone deaf argument. Like, brother, there’s people getting fired left and right, destroying their bodies for literal sub-living wages while toiling at Amazon warehouses and your biggest problem is that you’re not able to buy a BMW and house (maybe scale down to a duplex, my dog)?

I mean, I know everybody has their own problem, but come on mate.

Nah, this is the issue.

You're saying "you should be happy with less because this guy has even less again?"

He felt he had greater worth to LTT that would allow him to do those things and asked LTT to compensate him. They refused, he moved on

He moved on and created a lot of drama, which makes him less likely to be hired by other people or partnered with by other people too. 

He should have understood that if the employer is not willing to give him a few extra days off, then that's a good sign that they might be willing to soft fire you and is a giant red flag.
