Its a common feature in Irish management circles (and probably worldwide) that when the **** starts to hit the fan - the guy who was at the sharp end finds himself abandoned by his management buddies.
They all go charging up the hill together at first, but when the arrows fly in the wrong direction - the troops disappear.
It was seen recently in another large Irish company.

What was the name of the guy who wrote all those threatening letters and memos? He's a good mark.
