"Maybe they were assholes, but I don't give a shit how nice the developers who made my web browser are."

There coworkers do though, assholes have a right to exist and others have a right to not want to work with them.

Yea, not having to work with assholes is pretty great. Maybe there is some tradeoff to be made and a balance where keeping a productive asshole around could be better for the product than purging said assholes, but I think a team with that toxicity can't be sustainable in the long run unless its a team full of assholes that are content.

Don't let the world see you dirty laundry. Every company has these problem, customers should never see it.
