The transformation of Rick from Dr. Jekyll to Mr. Hyde is absolutely the companie’s fault. This article further denegrates Rick by lacking the self reflection to understand that it sounds like Rick was a devoted employee. He put in crazy amounts of hours to help the company succeed. Of course this had massive amounts of pressure behind it - related to the transformation. The company rewarded his devotion by firing him. As anyone would, Rick saw his hours of toil being stripped from him, anyone would be defensive in this situation. Perhaps this departure might have been good for Rick too, but it seems like it could have all been handled in a way that could have been copesetic for both parties. One way might have been telling Rick what the company felt, give him a nice long vacation to unwind, have the team collaborate in his absence. More creative and effective solutions probably exist.
