Agreed, and that had a happier ending where they moved him to a sort of R&D position. I think this article pats itself on the back too much. They didn’t manage “Rick” and let him work 7 days a week 12 hour days, and then act hurt when he explodes. As a former programmer who now manages programmers this whole situation made me angry reading it. This was avoidable.
