It's interesting, how much this question is controversial. I also have had similar problem. It was a bit different, but similar. Much time passed, but I still can't understand who was right. But I also can't understand, why I was fired, and the manager stayed. Was it me who is wrong, or the manager?

I think it would be good to reach some kind of consensus. Is it okay for the manager to be rude and not listening to needs of developer?

Manager is higher in hierarchy, so manager stays. Contrary to naive belief, company is not fair and unbiased institution.

OP should have left the team at first opportunity.

The problem is that, according to OPs Linkedin, landing at Spotify was a huge career goal. I think that he really thought high of himself + really wanted to stay. Maybe he even did not realize that he is "just a contractor".

But isn't it one of the manager role goals to keep the developers churn down? I wonder, how is this balanced, when it's more important to have the correct subordination, or keeping the churn down.
