Aloha Tangaroa. I have seen the same thing happen at other companies (than where I am now). What's important to note is whether those "artistic GODS" had reasonable people skills to go along with their talent. Often they don't. I have personally been involved in situations where we hired who we thought was the "less talented" of 2 people because we thought they would be easier to work with, and we were right. Lack of simple business and social skills seems to be a constant among creative types. Though not with anyone here :)
