As long as they do not hang GF with them it is all right by me...
Anyhow, this is no good. I tought a consultancy agency is supposed to know how to handle the people in the company they work for!
Maybe it is not a bad iidea to put all these external guys through one of our so beloved CRM courses. There they will teach them some basic principles in people managment!
I believe in the Hurricane theory of Icarus.....AT SN we had the same situation during the company's existance. And the little breeze never became a Hurricane......Result: well known I guess!
GF is 50 years old, full of knowledge and experience, apparently willing people are still working there.....so please, let it live!!!
