Yes, I was reading that blog and trying to hear the voice of the frustrated junior dev who is blamed for everybody else's poor communication, who is not being supported and who is used as a scapegoat for the company's wider problems (structure, feedback, planning). Someone who spends their days wondering where it went wrong, why no-one is willing to work with them and thinking about how fast can they get out of there.
This article reeks of bullying, passing the buck and misplaced egos, imo. The solution provided is focused on how to avoid hiring 'problem' employees, unfortunately nothing about how to cope with the situation once it has arisen. People can change after the hiring process due to personal reasons, death, divorce, all sorts of things. The author's company does not sound like a good place to work staffed with nice people.
