Who said that?

I think there are many sectors where she would have retained her job.
You're insulated from the real world. I've seen people seen off for stuff that's very minor compared to this woman's conduct.

Do you really think a CEO of a public company would have the confidence of shareholders if she behaved like this?

Protection of staff from abuse from those who interact with a company is widespread these days, haven't you noticed warning signs everywhere? With such sensitivity from without, how could it be justified and acceptable from within?

Contract of employment...We'll protect you from customers' verbal abuse and call the police but, if you dare have a boob job, we'll send round the CEO to sneer at you in front of your colleagues and slap you about with a floppy tit...

Yes, that would work nicely...

I think she should have been sacked. I am not surprised that she wasn't though.

And I've seen infinitely worse than this laughed off. Entirely depends on the company culture.

Regardless of whether she should keep her job or not, I disagree with La ligas defence of the fact it takes so long to investigate and come to a conclusion, whether they're investigating 20, 30 or 40 other cases simultaneously. I'm sure most of us do a st-load of work in our day jobs. How on earth can it take so many days for what is a blatantly straightforward incident. It really is crazy.

Unusual for me to agree with you but you're 100% on the money.

You would, no doubt, have criticised an investigation that wasn't thorough.

I've known two investigation of fairly senior officers to go on for an extraordinary time because of time-wasting by the officers' briefs. I, like you, have no idea if it was the case in this enquiry but I bet it was.

It does seem to be a case of double standards. I can't help but think that an officer of federated ranks would have been looking at dismissal in similar circumstances and history. On a similar vein, what inspector or sergeant would want someone on their shift who indulged in such behaviour?

I can accept that they've got a lot invested in this woman and there'd be a financial penalty if they sacked her, but then there's always more queuing for such posts.

If there's something we haven't been told, then I could possibly see an excuse, but I feel certain it might have been hinted at.

Would it be an accurate assumption that this woman will be a huge source of amusement among the ranks, thus commanding no respect, thus being undeployable in any role more important than making the tea, so will be officed up in a cupboard for a few years, to count paper clips, in order to claim her pension?
I'm not sure you understand how the systems works. It is a disciplined job. If she gives an order that is not unlawful, an officer of a lower rank will have to obey, regardless of how they view the woman. It is at at the same time both a strength and weakness of the job.

Yes, I understand that, but what happens if lower ranks disregard orders en masse by way of contempt for a superior?

Is that a risk to be taken by her superiors?

Not going to happen. I know of a senior officer who did something much more cringeworthy in displaying his 'wares'.
Apart from an excuse for a good nickname, and initially some sniggering, no-one really took any notice once the initial WTF was over.

Third down from the top isn't equivalent to a CEO. A board director would be a better comparison.

I think the shareholders are primarily concerned with performance. If they're seeing a good ROE and regular dividends, I don't think they'll care too much.

If someone has done 99.9% good, I'm not sure I support getting rid of them for the 0.1% (depending on what the 0.1 is, naturally. If it was stabbing someone in the face then the 99.9% wouldn't matter too much).

I'm satisfied to defer to the panel's judgement.

You've not noticed them getting all iffy about directors' pay and climate change of late, have you?

Institutional investors are getting a bit vocal these days and they can be majority shareholders.

Maybe. 15 years of being referred to as 'Flopper' takes a degree of courage though.

Have they? Executive pay is brought up every so often as well as the analysis that CEOs do little for company performance.

Again, I'd suggest performance is more important to shareholders. If that starts suffering then people are going to get scrutinised regardless of whether they've misbehaved on an occasion or not.

Correction: you are insulated from the 'real' world. You have no real idea what happens day in and day out in your city/town/county. Like me, be thankful that there are those out there stopping you knowing just how bad things really are.

I meant to say it was a disciplined service. In other words they are told that they must obey any order that is not unlawful. This goes beyond just obeying a lawful order.

An underling can point out that a senior officer's order was a poor option, and many have done so, but if the ranker decides to go ahead, then the officer has to obey, always supposing that the order was not unlawful.

What? Just because they have considerably more evidence than you? You should be banned from PH forums.
