Hire Slow, Sack fast?

That was quoted on the first page of the Business pullout a week ago. That was surely, I thought, the most inappropriate thing for an employer to say. Arrogant yes, In denial Yes. Openly taunting and asking for a PR disaster…HELL YES! And even more so to have those words coming from someone i know is enough to make me cringe….

I have recently seen a side of management which deeply disturbs me. Having work in this company for the past 18 months, I’ve grown to love every single one of my weird and eccentric workmates. This month, I’m losing four of them. It’s quite an eye opener, I’ll have to say. Again, full of uncertainty…I can’t help but wonder, is a line between personal, business and social in office relationships? Am I naïve to think that people can change if they were given another chance?

I sure am glad I’m not in Management…..
