Furthermore, Jeff is not a great (or even good...) manager/director/leader. There were a lot of internal and external dramas because of his leadership, that he failed to address. How often you hear about dramas about other Chef Scientists at other, comparably sized, companies?

He should stay a Fellow, in a "brilliant consultant" role.

I know this is a typo, but I would love to hear about high drama involving Chef Scientists at large companies.

It would have all the nonstop action of Iron Chef, combined with the multilayered scheming of Succession... I think there's something there.

He absolutely should have gotten rid of the troublemaker. Many folks used this publicity to leave for higher positions or higher pay (which is very common at google) but made it look like Jeff Dean was the problem.
