It begs the question how many other organisations have some of the FR enthusiasts worked for? Maybe some of them think that the FR way of dealing with industrial relations is the norm. From what we read and what the Irish judicial system has been presented with on a number of occasions, it clearly is not.
I have worked for a couple of pretty bad outfits in my time and when I got out the other side and into a normal working atmosphere it was like going from the ****tyest day in winter to a fine day in spring. I think you will find it is all relative.
