"How this will end?"

"In fire...."

Too bad it had to end like this but at least there's some hope for TBP.

They are replaceable. I have not yet met one in the last 20 years of academic and professional work whose loss destroyed a project if the rest of the team was competent.

Its always more costly to keep them around.

Of course, YMMV

just because someone 'touches' an asset does not make that asset his. IP can and eventually probably will be replaced. but even if he isn't it does not matter for it is a team project and he does not have exclusive ownership of anything.

If he really gets uppity about it all that will do is provide encouragement for his work to be erased and replaced. oh, and it also means that he can (if he has any intelligence at all) not put this project down as a reference for actual professional work, because, well professionals don't do this and it's a big flashing neon sign that reads 'don't hire me', it'd be like putting down 'CEO of Enron'.

and I believe this episode proves that it's never a good idea to let a primadonna last any longer than their first outburst, the longer they stay the more crap they can get involved with and use as leverage.

EDIT: I take it all back....apparently I haven't heard everything yet....

EDIT: I shall also take back my clarification.  And I'll close this thread so there's no misunderstanding.  People have more or less vented already.

Any further discussion should take place in the thread for that purpose in the Public Development forum.
