How do you unwind the damage done by an office psychopath?
(I know I can’t, but any tips ?)
my example (fairly close to the actual incident)
You were fearful of being assassinated so you had an anti-aircraft system of surface to air missiles installed on your roof.
You can take it as a given that the office psychopath will have fouled up the system beyond all recognition.
So you’ve lost the system you had.
(Standard methods of rebuilding a system from a known good baseline, if an inconsistency is discovered, no longer work, if an office psychopath has been on the job).
But also you will have lost staff. (Those that the office psychopath pushed out).
"Well I guess the answer is, don’t do it in the first place"

A psychopath is simply a person who has no moral grounding – everyone is a source of resources, not an actual person who has feelings and should be considered. A psychopath does nothing without the payoff.
So, I contest your thesis that he will have fouled up the system of anti-aircraft missiles. He wouldn’t have done that unless he was paid by an enemy agent to do so.
What you are describing is a traitor. In which case you must review all the projects that he was assigned to do, and all the people he was involved in, and try to build a picture of what he did during his time, and review all of these projects to ensure that he didn’t mess those up too.
