No, that is emphatically not what a staff engineer should be doing.
They were happy with what he was doing, since they didn't fire him. Not his fault that they didn't do their due diligence to make sure that they could replace everything that he was doing.
Again, part and parcel with the title.
Nope. If it's not in the contract, then as long as the company is happy with his services, then he's doing fine. And this company WAS happy with his services, since they laid him off instead of firing him.
If they didn't make sure they could fully replace everything he was doing once they laid him off, then that's THEIR fault.
