Some people only have bad to say about this fellow because they messed up themselves and thus had to deal with him as part of a disciplinary. He I am sure from experience dislikes getting involved in welfare issues just like the rest of us. Unfortunately it is part of his job.
He should be given a chance to prove himself at bmibaby. I am certain that he will rise to the challenge. Maybe when the new management team takes over at bmibaby, things may change for the better.
I wish him the very best in his endeavours and hope that the workforce will both encourage him and put forward new and sensible ideas to help with the growth and success of the bmi offshoot.
