This one is about my old org. It's a small firm that keeps bleeding clients. The COO was someone who basically was an empty shirt who loved meetings. All the tech people agreed that he didn't do anything to advance the company.

When I found out they let him go, I was shocked and considered it a good thing. Then I found out that the CEO didn't give him any feedback and that the COO had even checked in to see how things were going and was told he was doing a good job. He never got an opportunity to improve his performance and got let go with no warning. That's a shitty thing to do to a person, even if he was doing a bad job.
