Gosh, I get the impression that Harold is actually beginning to come to terms with the reality of EK such as it is.
I heard a similar thing regarding ATC and his laying the “blame” at the feet of SS, because as an untouchable he needed someone to blame.
As an aside, after the purge over the last 18 months or so there is a desperate shortage of bodies to do the work in HQ, notice I said “do the work” as there is no shortage of Habibis doing sweet F all. This has led to another layer of recruitment, but alas the secret is out about EKs management style so thus far I’m told that significantly enhanced packages are being offered to recruits merely to even get them to interview.
Treat this place as an ATM, forget any semblance of loyalty, the decision makers view everyone beneath them as disposable and replaceable, think about that next time you are asked too, or are put in a position to do anything other than your job description.
