Frank -
The egg-zact same kind of thing happened to my Dad. He was the manager of an engineering "Fire Team". It was a crack squad of engineers that would be called on to save failing projects. Above him was a wingnut bass-turd that liked to scream a lot. My Dad became the "the buffer" between the team and this boss. My Dad went to other managers to tell them what was happening. Then he found out that all these managers he was talking to were the friends of the wingnut. My Dad quit. Without him as a buffer, the whole team quit within a week. They assembled a new team for the wingnut. Within two months, that whole team quit. The wingnut had a nervous breakdown. When he came back, they promoted him. Bad guy wins.
Short story long. My Dad was a scientist that wasn't able to see this person for what he was. He saw the purity of the scientific problems being solved and his people being abused, not the "connections" that the wingnut had, and he paid for it.
