Shane basically worshipped Monty to a fault, and was holding the company back. After Monty's passing, he became troubled and morose.

When the RT animators did what they could to try and keep RWBY ongoing in the months after Monty's passing, in the end they had to make decisions for the better that Shane disliked and disagreed, so he was fired for rebelliously uncooperating with the other animators (Miles, Kerry, Gray) about the future of RWBY (both parties disagreed over what they felt Monty would have wanted in the future), since the Miles, Kerry and Gray took RWBY in a new different direction that was never Shane's intentions, which he also feels were never Monty's intentions either (since Shane worked with Monty for many years before getting hired at RT).

He was super rude in his letter (throwing some serious shade at RT), and honestly he probably broke at least one NDA
