May 24, 2023:
The lazy, incompetent HR Director is let go this week. Although I played no part in the decision I nevertheless find myself deeply gratified.
Firstly because she was transparently indolent, much of the time not even bothering to disguise her disengagement.
Secondly because she made herself an obstacle, as if deliberately. I for one had to steamroller her to hire a necessary position urgently. "How about [a date three weeks from now]?" "No — today."
Thirdly because it further isolates the incompetent Engineering Director, removing one of his traditional allies in complacency.
Lastly because it demonstrates in practice that senior leadership is committed to excellence.
