It looks like the staff is now trying to overcompensate against all the complaints about busy work. That or Shlup just got tired of doing work.
I have yet to hear about Del giving any reason, in staff or public, for his sudden resignation. It seems like the longer he stays silent, the more likely there was an internal disagreement in staff. I couldn't really blame him. The over-consolidation of staff has seemed to make them even more dismissive of regular members and more incapable of admitting any tiny bit of wrongdoing.
