This actually pisses me off. A lot.
I try to avoid really listening to political matters these days. Between the army of morons we seem to have in our leadership positions, the bias media that doesn't actually report anything fairly or in it's entirety, and a society that seems to be more polarized than I've ever seen it... I truly do try to avoid politics these days. (I blame the media - purely - for society being so polarized, as it almost seems that is their objective.)
But let me get this straight...we are REWARDING someone for a long string of behaving like a pompus, entitled b**ch - with what will add up to over a million dollars of taxpayer money. Am I understanding this correctly?
She treats people like garbage so badly she is not only dismissed from positions, but the behaviour goes so far as to warrant a variety of investigations. Position after position, she seems to treat people like dirt, and cause that workplace to be toxic & unprofessional - the exact opposite of what people should experience, especially in these types of positions.
Even her own detail, when asked by the investigators about her behaviour, stated that her conduct was unprofessional, immature, toxic, unproductive, etc etc.
So this is now the 3rd (or 4th) position in a row where she's been investigated & given the boot.... simply on the grounds of behaving like an entitled b*tch.
And now we, as a country who's finances are not exactly doing great, are going to REWARD this person with a healthy chunk of cash for the rest of her life?
WHAT. THE. F**K.
(Sorry mods, genuine apologies on the language.)
Does nobody in the PM's office (rhetorical question) have the spine to say... "Okay, she's behaving like an immature little tyrant & creating a toxic environment for everybody. We can't have this as someone who travels internationally to represent us. Time to dismiss her on grounds of poor performance."
And boom. Done. Bye.
I genuinely HATE how our so called leaders don't actually lead. They dictate. They play by their own rules. They break the law. They act like absolute morons. And when they get caught behaving in ways that the rest of us would just get fired for... we pay them a wad of cash as a reward.
<End of rant. Just pissed. Is it election time yet?)
