Both nothing stories but a good example of how some at QF/J* have come across to the reporters over the last few weeks. The
inside business story should/could have been avoided as it only sowed more doubt, not only with the public but highlighted J Es case again, telling the world that there is something not quite right with the staff as well. I believe we are at a point where the guys in the control tower at QF/J* take a deep breath, learn from its
PR disasters of late, sit down and listen to the staff and try and resolve a few issues in-house. Please forgive me for posting on this thread, but I felt starting a new one is not appropriate at this time.
Having said that, I do understand that Joe Eakins situation is the main thrust of this thread, I wish him well, and trust, his predicament can somehow result with a happy ending. Best wishes to all.
