That was very good advice. <BR/><BR/>Madeline Setchell just learned a basic lesson about government and why one should never apply to join. Basically, she got punished for doing the wrong thing. She should have considered that the salary she greedily sought to enrich herself with was stolen money. She should have sought gainful employment elsewhere. The fact she sought to join the receivers of stolen money speaks volumes. <BR/><BR/>In the end she got used and discarded. Would that all the WLG other monkeys get hammered the same way.<BR/><BR/>LGMAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11906042.post-84959897466277274222007-11-15T23:21:00.000+13:002007-11-15T23:21:00.000+13:00hat the reason Madeleine Setchell was fired (or no...<I>hat the reason Madeleine Setchell was fired (or not-hired) from the Environment Ministry was because the Environment Ministry was ramping up for a big advertising push in election year in support of government policies on "sustainability," and since she was she was sleeping with a Tory her loyalties might not be altogether in the right place to conduct such a partisan campaign on behalf of the Labour Party.</I><BR/><BR/>Yeah, PC, because we all know women are such cock-struck morons they can't actually excercise their rational facilities to behave in a professional or ethical manner, right? <BR/><BR/>Sorry, but that kind of paranoid Neanderthal bullshit does annoy me -- especially when Setchell herself appears to be the only person in this whole tawdry mess who has actually been straightforward and honest from the beginning.<BR/><BR/>And I'm sure this will get me pissed on from a great height, but even bureaucrats deserve to be treated with some integrity, perhaps even some plain common decency. <BR/><BR/>I certainly hope Organon Architecture hires (and fires) on marginally more rational ground that what the consenting adults your employees fuck do for a living.Craig Ranapiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08923246310584658857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11906042.post-41265940005493198802007-11-15T19:27:00.000+13:002007-11-15T19:27:00.000+13:00agreed JimW, i first met her over 20yrs ago when w...agreed JimW, i first met her over 20yrs ago when we were kids, and have caught up again briefly over the year.<BR/><BR/>were i in the position i too would offer her a job.<BR/><BR/>i see the difference here being that unlike a lot of bureacrats, she is actually good at working and just decided to work in government, and unlike most of them could quite easily transfer to private sector.<BR/><BR/>ALAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11906042.post-61862015133097936892007-11-15T18:10:00.000+13:002007-11-15T18:10:00.000+13:00Bugger her and get it over with then.
