A great example of how cowards installed in a bureaucracy can bring down the entire organization. The "no assholes" rule for hiring should apply at every level, no matter how prestigious that asshole is. I wish this would be a warning shot for how organizations can be destroyed by lack of action, but I unfortunately doubt it. Bullying exists everywhere and people are mostly afraid to do anything about it and the only way around it is through strong leadership, which is sadly lacking everywhere. Even at famed tech companies, this happens ALL THE TIME and bureaucracy protects them.
