I witnessed (not where I worked, but where my roommate and some very close friends worked, also I know the "culprits") a even worst case:

This very quickly derailed the project... In fact, it ended derailing the whole company, they went from absurd profitability (the MMO game idea was just to burn excessive amounts of money in a way that maybe gave profit to them) to bankruptcy, just because one new person (the CEO girlfriend, now wife)
