we have an established workflow that clearly state he is responsible for certain things. this workflow is not being followed anymore and there was never any communication on what was to be done instead.

seems like he just decided to back off and see who would take on his tasks. in some cases cool, he was really just a middleman anyway. in other cases um what. you got two different departments both just waiting for direction or blaming each other for not taking on it.

is this an actual strategy that is done on purpose?
