Fairfax Business Media…

has an almost 100% turnover in the editorial department since I left.

Can’t say I’m shocked. Well, I am.. by how long a certain tall blond man can possibly be entrenched in his position for so long. Then again, since everyone wipes his ass for him when he shits, why not? He should be able to last as long as he has automated toilet rolls at his beck and call.

The days before him might not have been rosy, but it was definitely more harmonious.
It might not have been awesome, but there was more laughter & more fun.
There might have been grumblings, but we were at least content.

I’m impressed that the sales staff are still there.
I’m amazed that the research & events department have not died off.
I’m upset that people would rather stay put and grumble than do something about it.

BUT

I’m just glad I’m no longer there.
But at some place where I’m still using Office 2000.
And has a remote IT helpdesk.
With me receiving internal phone calls from people I don’t know asking me to do things I don’t know how to.
All in all, Oracle ain’t that bad a place after all.
Everything’s relative.
