Latest AT drivel 11 April
There was a rumour recently doing the rounds that resignations this calendar year are averaging "one a day". Recently, this was poo-poo'd when the company assured us that resignations/ retirements are well within anticipated levels.
We all know it's dangerous to poo-poo a poo-poo, however if the rumour about resignations is true, what we will see is one person leaving (on average) every day during the period 1 April - 30 June (assuming a 3 month resignation period). How interesting it was to see the DFO farewelling 7 people in this week's update.... Isn't that one per day on average? I am sure it's just a blip and all is well in FOP.
Speaking of the latest update, it was a bit of an overreach for the DFO to try and draw parallels between our (lack of) teamwork and the sport of rugby, but if she is going to try and draw parallels, it would be more convincing if she realised that the "umpire" in rugby is in fact called a "referee" and if she is going to preach the virtue of "not arguing with the umpire", why then does the company have a rich history of appealing every adverse court decision...
