> I decided not to fight for changing something for the better today and quit. Why do companies lie? Why do ppl fear change?

I am not wise enough to be called a source of wisdom...but if you are in IT, and your company is not actively poisoning children or criminally violating you, do not quit out of professional principle without a backup plan.

Quite!

It's an interesting thing to read through after reading the other HN article "We have luxurious jobs but we are not ware of it" [0].

Yikes. He seems to be in a really bad place right now. I don't think tweeting and acting like that are going to help his prospects though. He seems like a passionate person but I'm not sure he is communicating that passion in the best of ways. Hopefully things get better for him.
