I recently learned that someone I used to work with who has been there for an very, very long time is in the crosshairs to be “forced” into retirement within the next year. He getting primed to be the fall guy for a bunch of fuck ups that is / was a result of many, many other people dropping the ball along the way as well as larger systemic issues. Maybe he had some responsibility in it but in no way is it entirely his fault – thus no grounds for firing I guess.
Forgive my ignorance. I've never held a management position before and I have a hard time really understanding how someone goes about doing this? I don't mean morally (although I find it sickening I am fully aware there are people with a sociopathic streak who don't care) but rather logistically…?
