So the drama goes on. Till now, five committee members, including two outsiders, have asked for a hiring meeting—the nightmare for the stammer J.
J remains dead silent, the same trick the Boss always plays. It worked well in the past: as time goes by, people will shift attention elsewhere and the fire will dire out.
Not this time. B and E are determined to expose J (and the Boss) to the campus. Their intention has a legitimate camouflage: the committee can only vote on matters they understand. But J is unable to specify the candidate qualification, the central issue. Then holding a meeting to discuss is a sensible way to go.
J (and the Boss) face a dilemma. Calling a meeting, J’s inability of teaching will be exposed to the campus. Remaining silent, B and E may resign, which will create more noise on campus.
Either way, it can only get uglier…

Now this is a cliffhanger! You know, it’s the same everywhere. My mum has worked at a gym for nearly 11 years, and because she didn’t get along with her boss they practically tricked her into quitting. Ah, work politics… I’m too honest to be a boss :p

I guess that has a lot to do with our assumption: the world, by and large, is a fair and just place.
My experience seems to teach me otherwise, in a hard way :)

I don’t assume the world is a just place. I was always told bold people own half the world, and I reckon it’s true: the bigger your mouth, the easier you get things done. Especially if you go for the big money and choose to lose your soul. I rather stay honest and happy than having to step into that ongoing (losing) battle.
