I think the “difficult to please managers” speaks to me. I’m a top performing engineer and I had no problems leading the pack until I had a new manager forced on me who was very much a “suit” type. He views the team as numbers and everything can be solved by “throwing more bodies at it”
Thankfully I got promoted to a new team but yes there are many causes for burnout
The university AND jstor were pretty quick to get as uninvolved from that mess as quick as possible, so it really doesn’t matter… But what you’re saying has nothing to do with the case and is also not true. “Broke and entered” implies forced physical access into a clearly forbidden area. The network closet was a room that was left unlocked and was frequently used by janitorial staff to put junk in.
