They responded to these points in a comment on the original article, which acknowledged management's responsibility for creating the problem, and they say they fired his manager first.

I'll admit that I'm particularly touchy about bad people managers, but it really does seem like they just washed their hands of the problem without trying to really discern:

* Why this became such a big problem (and wasn't resolved earlier)

* How to prevent it from happening in the future

Because if one team can effectively silo themselves so well that problems like Rick are allowed to fester for multiple years, I don't have high hopes for the future for them.
