What's the principle? The fact that senior people don't know when it's time to move off the scene gracefully. No, instead they have to be publicly embarrassed and make a whole scene.
I personally feel that if you've served in a senior capacity for a lengthy time, after sufficient time move along and allow someone else to be promoted. If you are retirement age, take your pension and go; if close to retirement, step back and be a mentor to the new regime.
I don't understand why people feel the need to stay in these top positions until they die. I for one don't intend to die still struggling to hold a job well after my retirement age and the obvious urgings to step back.
They need to stop embarrassing themselves...as I said it's all cause they don't want to lose power and position.
All this shows is that these guys are all about pomp and pageantry. Because even though you may have been transferred to another area, your salary remains the same. Who cares if it is perceived as a demotion, you are essentially getting paid the same to do less work.
I for one would be quite alright with that, especially if I was close to retirement age. But as I said, these dudes are all looking for power and position so that's why they are so upset about the changes.
Ms. Gottlieb should be made aware that this ban was talked about prior to being put in effect. Sports Centre should have long before stop purchasing bags in an effort to have less once the ban went into effect. Now they will be stuck with an abundance of bags... I don't feel sorry for them.
People are also tired of paying triple and quadruple the price for no brand name items. With online retailers like Amazon and Ebay a person can shop from home with bigger variety and better options. Then order your item and ship through a freight forwarder and still not come close to the exorbitant amount of money they want for these things.
And that's #fact. Stop trying to make a 200% profit and be more reasonable in your pricing, maybe then people will purchase and locally.
And once again the goverment levies fees with no thought for the little man.
How does Bannister think it's fair that everyone pay the same amount? A person making weekly minimum wage with a $100 a month light bill can ill afford $30 extra a month. However the person making $900 weekly with a $400 a month light bill probably would adapt to a $30 increase easier.
Common sense would be to tax the bill at a percentage, so that those with lower bills would not be paying the same as someone with a higher bill. I don't see how Bannister those can't think like this... they just charging fees all willy nilly. Gosh I really dislike this government...
So question, does that seat now go back up for a reelection of candidate? It would only be fair to now allow constituents to vote again. I am sure there are many who voted for a party candidate, and now that he is independent may be wanting to change their vote.
her idea of a lot of money and others might not be the same. ever watch hgtv... a couple comes- the wife bakes cookies for a living and the husband is a part time newspaper writer- they have 1.2 million to spend on a house.
but it is great that she was able to build and keep her house in such catastrophic conditions.

The one main thing they will be remembered for now, is the fact they had to be dragged kicking and screaming to make way for a new regime.
Flicking embarrassing...
