The decision itself wasn’t toxic but a reflection of the toxic nature of the person who made the decision. The fact is that they were perfectly able to adequately do their job without codified power over the core team so this resignation was clearly not about being unable to do their job. They used a manipulation tactic to acquire power and their bluff was called. > Just because finding a replacement is easy, doesn't mean they should do a job they don't like. That conclusion wasn’t the intention of my comment either. The point is that they had a fundamental misunderstanding of their role in the organization and that came at a cost.
