You were a CEO and didn't realise "the imbalance of power between the organisation and the employee?"

Get outta here

Reminds me of Theresa May's toe-curling resignation speech.

Henry has a tendency to showboat, Stein is more stealthy.

If wishes were dreams

she did not understand

grumpygrape · 24/05/2024 11:33

Bang, bang, bang. Stitched up like a kipper

meimei80 · 24/05/2024 11:32

I think this new guy is doing really well, weaving all the facts together. She is on much shakier ground.

He is rattling through the details.

He tends to do this to build the story before he delves deeper

Funnily enough Lunde in some ways she reminds me of Tony Blair at his most sanctimonious.

Imelda Staunton to play her in the film - she can base her performance on Dolores Umbridge.

LOL at "Mr Henry cured himself of it" from the Chair about counsel interrupting Vennells.

She has decided to adopt a fake, kind vicar dealing with a difficult parishioner persona today.

@DanielGault

No doubt. Every break time. Makes sure she's free of "bugs"

He seems to only manage patches right now.

Yeah it's always in the public funded organisations. Absolutely littered with corruption and rot.

Not sure that this is true - look at the behaviour of the privatised water companies - polluting rivers and seas with no consequences to the Directors.

Two things can be true at once.

In speaking about public funded organisations, does not mean the same doesn't happen in private.

We were talking about public funded organisations here.

I'd say her engineer husband reprogrammed her tbh.
