At one SelfOrganizingCo I watched as a developer I had worked with previously was being “purge tracked” across teams before being fired. I got curious so I went into the repo and examined this developer’s most recent checkins.

I was amazed. This developer's code looked fine. Very clean, didn't see any issues. Nobody had made any changes to these modules after the code was checked in, and the project was still active, so it looked like it worked okay. It wasn't dead code, either.

This dev got fired not because he couldn't code, but because he was unable to be "remolded" and didn't make any powerful friends. Sadly, near the end he started drinking from the office stress. He's now happily employed at a competitor, and doesn't drink any longer.
