I agree, I didn't call him entitled either. Maybe he lacked training or maybe not, and maybe he saved well or maybe not (he did last for 18 months in SF after he was laid off, after all).
No, I wouldn't call him entitled. If anything, I think he was deceived: he bought in to a social contract and it turned out he was more invested in it than his employer was.
Just to clarify: I wasn't saying you'd called him entitled. I'd just felt the need to expand upon that point, because the words "entitle" or "entitled" appear about 12 times on this comments page already, and are bound to appear even more. I sort of picked that section of your comment as a segue into discussing the entitlement topic. Sincere apologies to you if I gave you the impression that I was accusing you of labeling the guy entitled.
