It's hard to know what really happened here, but Butterfields comments as cited reflects an all-too-common mindset in company mergers regardless:
“The problem has been, there’s no incorporation of the Slack culture into the Salesforce culture, and unless there is some element of that, then it’s not integration in any sense. It’s just the elimination".
It seems like the process of populating the top tiers in large orgs routinely sifts out people who know how to cooperate, and promote the people who only know how to dominate.
