I work for idiots

Late last month my esteemed employer was in the news over some pesky corruption and budget deficit problems. Frankly, compared to British MPs, we are small-time crooks, but I digress.

Last Friday, or so the paper tells us, the organization, being run by the massive intellects that it is, decided to send two cease-and-desist letters to the retired employee who was bad-mouthing us in the press. It also scolded, but didn’t threaten to sue, the reporter who covered the story, calling him “unprofessional”. Hey, he did his job. By the standards of this place, that’s unprofessional.

Our brave/foolhardy retiree says he will not be intimidated by these letters and has hired one of the most famous lawyers in the province to defend him.

This could get good.

Apparently there is quite a bit of risk here because a lawsuit (or counter-suit) might force us to open up our books and, well, we all know how red-faced we’ll be if that happens. Why the powers-that-be decided to pursue the retiree, heaven only knows.

What’s worse that a dim bulb organization? A self-righteous dim bulb organization.
