Management are hurt
Oh dear, this thread has lost its way hasn’t it? This was a great opportunity for all of you to praise the versatility and organizational prowess that is Qantas, yet you choose to launch a biased, cruel and demeaning tirade against a respected CEO. Shame shame shame.
The thread started out with a great title – ‘Does the CEO of QF do anything?’ What a sterling question, and one that can be answered quite simply – Absolutely!
Think about it, management underpin and overarch the very essence of Qantas. Qantas in turn reaps admirable profits which in itself is evidence of a healthy collective management structure. In turn the worker receives a very robust pay packet in return for his/her loyalty. Naturally, the upside of this ‘marital bliss’ is a symbiotic relationship that ensures the shareholder is content. So for those of you who dare question the current management arrangement I suggest you look to the spreadsheets where you will find close to 35 000 extremely well paid servants.
I still cannot fathom the angst and venomous attitudes being thrust before Management. You all need to take a long hard look at yourselves as Management often does. Seek ways to refine your abilities, look for ways to work harder and smarter so as to keep our dream alive. You should appreciate the fact that you work for an icon, a national treasure, an organization more Australian than Vegemite or herpes.
To use an analogy those of you who mock management, leer at management and make derogatory remarks about managements style of leadership should give yourselves ‘your own personal prostate check’. You should delve deep inside, examine the inner man, and rid yourselves of spite and bitterness which is the ‘cancer’ within. Rid yourselves of these uncontrolled emotions and embrace your strong ethical leadership team. It can be done, we must be united, if not for ourselves, for the Shareholder.
