'Raging dumpster fire' | Microsoft employee bashes former workplace on Glassdoor - now getting sued for millions

A Microsoft engineer who launched an online tirade against his former workplace, calling it “a raging dumpster fire,” is now facing a million-dollar lawsuit as a result, according to reports.

The Financial Times and The Ladders have shed light on the case of Wyatt Troia, who is facing legal action from LoanStreet, an online finance platform against which he began a barrage of negative reviews – including claims of “pettiness,” “cowardice”, inexperienced leadership and broken promises - across several sites including GlassDoor and Reddit.

Among the criticisms, which began in 2020 when he was still a LoanStreet worker, Troja claimed: “The founders are not skilled nor experienced leaders, with a bias towards pettiness and cowardice.

The Ladders reported that, in June 2021, Troia posted again on Glassdoor, this time naming several executives at the company and describing them as “spineless sycophants.”
