What were your stats/ECs?

had a friend in this pile a few years back i believe. ended up going to wharton. his stats:
27M
3.8-3.9 GPA big ten school, liberal arts major
ROTC, 4+ years military, commissioned officer, did time overseas, xo for his company, learned arabic
GMAT 780

another friend of his from the military had nearly the exact same profile and actually matriculated at HBS, so very hard to tell what the difference was

White male, 750 GMAT, 3.9 GPA top 20 UG, 2YOE MBB. I thought I had a strong essay & recs, I think having weaker ECs and only 2YOE likely hurt me

So my VP at my previous company felt bad and refused to speak to me or attend my farewell after my resignation. His reason was that I somehow betrayed his trust as he had promoted me just last year (after keeping the position open for 4 months and letting me take additional work load after the previous SM left!). Does this make any sense? I mean where does this sense of entitlement or ownership over the employees come from? No wonder the company in question is kind of facing a literal exodus!
