The company culture is really starting to fall apart. I wouldn't be surprised to see internal changes structurally to teams. Managers should manage but not be able to pick their team.

Now all of a sudden the culture is falling apart? Managers certainly should have influence on who is on their teams but obviously not absolute control.
