It's not ad hominem. The head is a strongly polarizing individual. People working for him must either be gravely apathetic or at least of a similar polarity.

Ad hominem means attacking people rather than arguments.

Pointing out that criminals are criminals is not an ad hominem.

"Ad hominem, not a serious argument" is an ad hominem, nonserious argument
