That's not how I understand what he said on that AMAA stream.
Sounds to me more like he logged into a GM/privileged/secure account to do something (unban someone? issue compensation? maybe just investigate accounts or game logs) which is only allowed inside the Nexon building and is not exactly a CM's job even there. He has said in the past that all he can do when helping someone with issues that Customer Support brushed off, was to tell a GM "look into it again". I guess sometimes he looked into it first and then came to the GMs with the evidence all prepared. But he failed to notice that his new teleworking contract specifically forbade it. (Why didn't they have such access blocked? I don't know, it's Nexon...)
To me, that sort of thing makes more sense as a reason for an instant dismissal than the Chief of CS having had enough of this guy telling his people what to do. The CM doesn't even have the authority to tell them what to do, he was asking favors (so he said in the past), and especially with him outside the building, they could easily have just told him to pineapple off.
What I found more interesting about the AMAA was that he still claims that Nexon cares about the players (or, he corrected himself, that there are people there who care, although "caring can only go so far" or words to that effect), and that he believes they're doing what's right for the game and the community. No way of knowing whether he truly believes all that or is saying it because he doesn't want to hurt his chances of working in the industry again. He did say he majored in Political Science. I believe lying with a straight face is a required course in that curriculum...
