Wait! Someone who left a company on bad terms is "claiming" bad things about it?
And then even go with an assumption about what happens without having any other information than his own side of the story (or hisown perception of it)

Not saying it is not true (I am doubting it tho), but if anything, this is as credible as the non-moon landing...

Not trying to defend the big corporation here but all those articles from people who left on bad terms needs to be taken with a big grain of salt; even if you chose to believe that big corporation are evils by default, having some comon sense will also tell you that if you leave a company on bad terms (or your partner for that matter), you will usually not say nice things about it (or make up stuff to make your side of the story more credible).

It is indeed "he said, she said" until this goes to court (he is filing a lawsuit which is why he posted this now, like 6 months after he left). However, I did notice that several other former 343 devs backed him up and said they believed him, so clearly they saw some hinky stuff going on there themselves (several that commented on his post even stated they saw similar stuff behind the scenes at 343 themselves). And this is far from the first time we've heard bad things coming in from behind-the-scenes at 343/Halo Studios. Where there is this much smoke, there is usually fire. I suspect that the new Xbox head will end up having to do a house clean at Halo Studios before too long.
