Covid Enquiry

[tomus42]

I'm a bit surprised at the toxic nature of the working environment. I've worked in a few places but never anything where senior staff are messaging each other to call their colleagues c****, f*******, b**** etc.

What an absolute clownshow it seems to have been.

Why anyone in a position of power or who is famous participates in a whatsapp group is beyound me.

Excess deaths...that's were the focus should be...the tittle tattle can wait.

it occurred because "there was no one in charge"

Here is a short news-clip detailing some of the recent Covid inquiry proceedings:-

Hymie, didn't you try to tell us last week that there was a news blackout imposed on this enquiry. I've been watching hours of it this week. Maybe you embarrassed the MSM into reporting it again.

[newmodarmy]

News clip? 😀

Forget these warped youtube clips Hymie- why don't you watch the real thing - live?

[dave50]

Why do we need a  enquiry costing millions? What is the point? We all know we should never have anymore lockdowns, ever. That's it.

Why did nobody ask how Dominic Cummings ever got a job at Number 10 and whether he has restricted documents in his possession still.

[Hymie]

The real thing is worse than the parody:-

You have clearly never worked in the City then.

Seen people lean across meeting desks and cal them a c*** to their face.

And as for the language air was blue a lot of the time, and that was just the women.

Why should they, he was only a SPAD?

And anyway he was actually good at his job, this can be seen once Johnson started down the path of listening to his ultra liberal wife and Cummings was pushed out by her and her cronies.  Johnson collapsed in popularity.

I admit he is an odd ball though, but doesnt mean he didnt achieve.

I can't believe the bad language and the antagonism amongst the staff.

I've made rather a speciality of teaching in 'difficult' schools, but this was never accepted from the kids (I remember ticking-off a lad for using the epithet c'r'a'p) and there was certainly none of it in  the staff-room - where we often felt under siege and worked under great stress. A touch of madness, yes (paper aeroplanes being lobbed and miniature cricket played) but always decent respect and appreciation of one's colleagues, who were fighting the battle of educating the unwilling with you.

How anhy decent person can stay in such an environment as is described, is beyond me.

[youngmafbog]

Guessing you have never seen anyone punched in the office either then?

I'd suggest a school is a bit of a closeted environment since you have kids about. Believe me this sort of thing is not unusual in Banks/Finanace in the City.

[jourdain2]

Most of the  kids we had came from backgrounds where a bit of violence and foul language was breakfast, ymb. 🙂

True, and I'm glad I haven't by the sound of it. It's not really how 10 Downing street should be operating though surely.
