I agree with everything said so far. This is more an example of where having an interpersonal “beef” with another employee caused a long delay in the production at the company I currently work for. There was an issue with production that most likely could have been solved in about 2 weeks if it was managed by the head of manufacturing, however the general manager took over the problem (who isn’t extremely familiar with the science behind the error) and formed a group to fix the problem with the wrong personnel. They didn’t pick anyone from the manufacturing team because of a personal problem between a few employees apparently. The plan they put into place was faulty at best and needed to be fixed. If they choose a good group to begin with, this could have saved time and money and avoided all of the headache. I’m not actually sure what happened with the employees in the situation but they all still work here (not my department but I work closely with manufacturing, hence why I heard this story).
