QFANZ... there is a great deal of truth in what you say.
NZ has many good people working for it, who are genuinely trying to do the right thing.
Unfortunately, there's also an extraordinarily ingrained culture of bullying, intimidation and covert character assasination.
It's not helped by people in certain positions of authority who say one thing in public, yet in private will do (and behave) in almost exactly the opposite fashion.
My advice... work for Zeal or NZ by all means. Try and be one of the good ones. But go in with your eyes open, be very careful who you trust... and watch your back.
