I've had experiences of senior executives joining organisations and completely ruining them in 1-2 years.

One exec in particular:

- Made power grabs for other execs' areas, forcing those execs out to other organisations.

- Continually shifted goal posts for key technical staff. In the words of one of these people, this was the primary cause of their mental breakdown.

- Filled positions with his own cohort of sycophants and yes-men from previous organisations.

- Defunded major projects, turning them from promising potential businesses into graveyards.

After just a couple of years, the organisation was a shell of its former self.

Sounds like this was the job. And also well executed, 1-2 years is relatively short for that.

Lol imagine having the job of ruining a business as ceo. Waking up every morning, pondering your next destructive act over coffe. What would you do?

Punish people for taking responsibility?

> Sounds like this was the job.

What does that mean? Sounds to me as if you were thinking that the CEO might in fact have been working for a competitor (I didn't downvote, just curious)

If he brought all his old buddies from Pune, India to join him, I think I worked for him too.

This is a very common story, not at all specific to one guy from Pune.
