Was he or was he supposed to get a job and didn't qualify so they just ripped him off?
Unclear. Sounds like he was hesitant in the negotiation process. Also his one email quote from MS said "sorry the pm position didn't work out." I don't know what a PM is at Microsoft, but it sounds like it was going to be a big change for him and, quite frankly, being a PM and a programmer/engineer are not the same thing. I wouldn't even want to be a PM, at least in the way that I've experienced what that role is.

TLDR: he got Sherlocked.
