Clive,
Well said!! I concur.
I'm convinced that the HR Director had a more than justifiable input to the Company's pay proposals. He seems to be dictating a little more of Company policy than is healthy and the Board, for some inexplicable reason, is allowing him. The removal of that evil little man would go some considerable way to improving morale and emloyer/employee relationships within the Company. One suitable place for relocation would be Rockall, accompanied by Cat, who would provide adequate companionship. They both appear to have the same malicious personal qualities and ROCKALL between the ears.
