He did capriciously tell a bunch of people who worked for him to leave in a fit of anger, and that was wrong, as he repeatedly acknowledged. That the story is more nuanced than popularly understood is probably true, but "did nothing wrong" is an absurd oversimplification that not even he claims.

It's ultimately a bunch of mundane workplace drama that nobody not personally involved should devote any energy to. None of the people in this story are saints or villains: they're ordinary people who tried and failed to grow a business.
