The company says his story — posted on Reddit, Glassdoor, Blind, and elsewhere — is false.A software engineer who was fired from the fintech startup LoanStreet has been hit with a million-dollar lawsuit over his posts trashing the company on Glassdoor, Reddit, and the anonymous online forum Blind.

"The founders are not skilled nor experienced leaders, with a bias towards pettiness and cowardice," Troia wrote on Glassdoor in April 2020. He was fired shortly thereafter. "Stay far, far away unless you're truly desperate," Troia wrote on Glassdoor."LoanStreet is a raging dumpster fire and you will get burned like many before."

In its lawsuit, LoanStreet said Troia was fired for"the poor quality of his engineering, his lack of engagement with his team, and his inability to cooperate with his peers or take direction from his superiors." The company said he misstated the terms of his equity grant and blasted out a company-wide email on his last day that sounded similar to the posts he would later make.
