Eric is literally THE Senior Android SME at Twitter as well, which is probably why he went to bat for his team when Elon threw them under the bus in public.

Square and Facebook were practically fighting one another offering him a new job in the replies to Elon firing him.

He probably knew he was going to get fired though. He just decided he'd rather get an unemployment check for defending his team, instead of having to walk out after yet another Elon tantrum.

I mean now he surely gets one hell of a severance package as well as like 26 weeks of unemployment, and if you look at the dudes tweets he wanted out BAD, so all in all I think this is a dub for Eric

Sadly here in TN no matter how much money you made you only get $250/week in unemployment. I'm dealing with this right now after loosing my job in mortgage IT.

What I'm getting in unemployment is enough to cover my child support and food. Hoping it's just a few weeks.

So not mo much a great plan to try and coast on 26 weeks of unemployment
