Karma has bitten someone. I feel bad for the guy.

His incompetence cost half a dozen people their jobs, and he FINALLY got fired.

There was a time I would have celebrated, but now I just feel sorry for him. He tried to protect himself by throwing other people under the bus, and it totally backfired on him.

He was enabled by a supervisor who has apparently managed to save himself by blaming this guy. It is an ugly mess. I am grateful to be NOT involved, and hope my former team is able to function with a competent person in the role.

I am surprised by my pity for the man, especially after he did so much damage....?

I've become wiser. Wiser because I now understand that people who use and abuse others will never learn kindness or compassion until they feel the same pain they've inflicted on others. Letting them get away with their odious actions only reinforces their bad behavior. My compassion has become tempered by reality, and I know that their suffering, as deserved as it may be will forge a better person.
