It's a tough thing because say "Rick" worked on 5 things every day. 3 things he did very well and nailed, and the other 2 things didn't work right. As a team it's very hard to balance those two things against those three things and eventually come to the conclusion that you need to let the guy go.
In hindsight it's very easy to make a determination but hindsight 20/20, you're always second guessing if removing this person is going to help your project or totally doom your project.

Enablement is also a problem. Each time the group had a chance to intervene, they didn't.
Not to say Rick isn't at fault, he is, 100%, but he was clearly in an environment that want healthy for his mental health or productivity.
