In the 35 years I worked in healthcare as a manager I was often accused of being ‘too loyal’ to staff at the front line. I could never understand that criticism. I never saw any other option than loyalty to anyone I managed. I always found I got back even more loyalty. It is a ‘no brainer’ as far as I am concerned. Hopefully justice will be done in this case.Trevor Gayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01148705981847576706noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9533912.post-1162952609340873452006-11-08T02:23:00.000+00:002006-11-08T02:23:00.000+00:00Hi, Annie.

If the company has any concern for its public image at all, they would certainly want to make these moves. I would also like to think they would also do it because it's the "right thing".<BR/><BR/>In my career, I have endeavored to promote the interests of my employees - sometimes to excess and to the detriment of my own situation. This is not by choice or any form of political correctness - it is simply because I cannot bring myself to do it any other way. I guess I feel it is a certain kind of responsibility and trust that I cannot break. I have been on the receiving end of bad bosses, as well - and would never want to see myself as a perpetrator of such abuse.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9533912.post-1162897303413969512006-11-07T11:01:00.000+00:002006-11-07T11:01:00.000+00:00Hello Dick, you may be interested to know that Hel...Hello Dick, you may be interested to know that Helen was interviewed on the radio yesterday. Apparently the MD of the company got to hear of it - he asked Helen not to leave the company. There were rumours that Alistair had been suspended.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9533912.post-1162887110570311832006-11-07T08:11:00.000+00:002006-11-07T08:11:00.000+00:00Hi Dick - hope you are well.Thanks for that - I di...Hi Dick - hope you are well.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for that - I did wonder if he is just insensitive regardless of gender. I suspect he has no insight about how hew comes across but there are a few comments that I feel are definitely things he would not have said to a man. After I did this posting I discovered the ‘slider bar’ on download option so thanks again.Trevor Gayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01148705981847576706noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9533912.post-1162861669834486462006-11-07T01:07:00.000+00:002006-11-07T01:07:00.000+00:00Quite something, Trevor.

It almost sounds as if he could have a similar conversation with any employee, regardless of sex. I suspect he has been wanting to get rid of Helen for some time. This may be a convenient excuse.<BR/><BR/>BTW - one way of bypassing the first nine minutes of the clip is to download and move the slider on the player to the 9-minute mark.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
