It's bizarre how this article seems to suggest that "asshole" is some kind of objective quality, rather than just a label we use for people we don't like. I'd say anyone who has "rid their company of assholes" has simply fired the people they dislike (while retaining people that somebody, somewhere, thinks are assholes). To imagine otherwise would require a much more rigorous definition of "asshole" than is evident in the article (it sounds like they've basically gone with "I know it when I see it").
