I disagree with calling it a boss move that Ken takes that job to carry out revenge on Roger, Ferg and Pete.
Him and his wife knew all along the ad man life was not his calling; it was writing. He's always been an artist conforming to what society deemed successful and the loss of his eye and the disrespect he regularly endured were symbols of that. Over the course of the series we see him go from a happy go lucky, easy-going kind of guy into this frustrated and disillusioned shell of his former self.
He knew he had been given the out he needed to live "The Life Not Lived" that he probably was too scared to pursue and he just squanders it to become "a cog in a machine that makes weapons and poison" and carry out revenge. Sad to see.
