CP's job in Qf is to make the unpalatable missives from above as 'nice' as possible. The position is chosen from 'yes-men' and not (from what I can see) the type a traditional CP should be.
In short, a CP at Qf who even looked like standing their ground would lose their executive car park faster than you could say 'Dubai'. Its a rubber stamp position, the conclusion is inescapable - otherwise, where are the resignations? Anecdotal evidence suggests the position was involved up to its neck in the shutdown so I wouldnt expect any support from there.
Employees seem to be the only ones who have to comply with WD, employers with big legals seem to be able to cry foul and call 'hardship' if they dont like any outcome....
