Erm. Anyway.

The idea that Horner has tried to help reduce the negative publicity around his philandering by re-hiring a woman he previously philandered with and had to pay off, is fantasy. Put the tabloids down, people.
The lady spent 15 years at RB and was clearly very good at her job. For whatever reason, she decides to move to the West Country and do basic co tract work remotely. This could be for the very simple and very common reason most competent female employees do this sort of thing, they've got married, having children, following a dream etc. People in the prime of their life and career don't just leave to go and live as a yogurt weaver in the West Country without a reason, typically it's following a lifestyle dream with a partner although it can be due to some horrendous event but not usually. Sometimes it's because they're just a loser who has given up but that is very clearly not the case with this person.

It's most probably a case a smart person trying the rural dream with a new family and realising just how mind judderingly boring it is being young, in the middle of nowhere and just doing some online contract work for dull companies full of dull people.

Meanwhile, back at RB they need a temp to fill in an important role and they could gamble on a wholly new person who when they are replaced formerly will be leaving with a load of data and gossip and also where regardless of whether this person is young totty, an old battle axe or H from Steps the media is going to fabricate a slander and from their side, who would want what is going to be a toxic role while everything plays out? Then you have this alternative: this person who worked for you for 15 years, was excellent at their job, knows exactly how it all works and who everyone is, has proven integrity and is sitting down in the middle of some inbred horror hole contemplating whether to shoot themselves?

I'm sure that we will have another raft of offensive and patronising comments about little ladies and how weak they are and how they all need protecting from the big bad men by heroic men such as themselves. But it would be rather nice for a change if people were to consider a reality where women are their equals, don't need their platitudes or faux protections and that this particular person is quite probably smarter than them, wealthier than them and better at their profession than them and has like all good people been called upon because they are good at what they do and can step in immediately while being willing to do so on a temp basis.
Oi, stop describing my life. It’s lovely out West :P

There was never really the opportunity due to women not being offered the senior roles but now straight blokes have a chance to shag for a bonus or promotion and ugly and fat blokes can complain about how unfair it is. Assuming the beneficiary in this case was a male.

That said, I think someone has been confused by the RB acronym and possibly hasn't realised these are two different businesses biggrin

We can also apply for women's jobs too. Just change your name to Melanie and go to the toilet sitting down.

The “who received promotions and bigger pay deals as a result” seems like an important part but I guess not eh?

It's the principle that's the issue: the senior officer opens themselves up to the potential for blackmail, and/or accusations (as this one seems to be) of abuse of power.

The principal isn't what HocusPocus was drawing attention to though, the post was framed as a gotcha against "CH apologists".

I guess that only bothers whoever they are then. For the rest of us, it's about the abuse of power.

Yup a Boss seemingly threatening the career of a PA once the handjobs (maybe more..) ceased ... This is like going back to the 70s.

Change the fking record will you?

You and others continue to paint anyone who has a circumspect point of view on this as if they’re backwards or even evil.

Hold the presses folks - Jasandjules and co have decided guilt based on unsubstantiated leaks. No need for tribunals. Also any tribunal that might’ve already taken place that resulted in a decision that doesn’t agree with this orthodoxy was biased, predetermined, misogynist, etc. There is only one true opinion!

No one is saying that proven abuses of power should be condoned (if they are they should rightfully be called out). But perhaps you can dare to imagine a world in which people aren’t condemned by the court of public opinion, based only on a Google Drive link. And perhaps one can give tribunals decisions the benefit of the doubt until actual evidence surfaces to call it into question? What a world that would be.

Stop stirring the pot then: I'm certainly not suggesting guilt until proven innocent, that's for a tribunal to decide, if one comes to pass. If you don't want to debate it, it's simple - stop clicking on the thread - otherwise it looks like you're only interested in stifling the discussion, for some reason.
