Gregory's Server@yosh As a manager, I had to terminate someone who was talented but also toxic (as in, people coming to my office in tears over what that person had done to them). My management chain at the time supported me but they were replaced by others who held the situation against *me* and ultimately pushed me out. I think they only saw the talent and not the toxicity. In other words, this shouldn't be a hard problem to solve but often is.
@newsgoth @yosh In one exit interview I had to be very careful not to throw my boss under the bus and suggest delicately instead, "Well... She didn't seem very surprised by ToxicBro's behavior."
HR was clearly quivering over a potential lawsuit like "how can we change your mind?" IDK be less sexist, this ain't my problem anymore, the movers are called, you have long known the bro who is the problem. Do better next time, byeee.
