Sometimes, infighting was observed as a symptom of management that did not know how the work got done. Had no idea what employees were doing; no clue as to how to provide the necessary attitude and knowledge; did not even know employees were not doing security.

Not only could the boss not provide necessary management support. But his technical ignorance also made cooperation impossible. If he cooperated, then others might realize how little he really knew about what his employees did and could do.

Well, the reporter can only ask the president and company spokesperson why failures happened. Obviously the reporter cannot get an answer. If they knew, then the problem would not have existed in the first place. So we are left to only speculate or await the employee blogs.
