EMPLOYEES AT A PLACE where expression is supposed to predominate are crying out that they’re being stifled by a bossy politico.
They claim that since this individual took over, their creativity is not their biggest asset. Rather, it is their ability to take directives without question that matters most.
What makes this situation even more vexing is that the titular head of the place has also been muzzled.
In a case of “I am Sir Oracle and when I ope my lips, let no dog bark”, the politico does not tolerate anyone speaking on anything – and that includes the appointed boss.
The employees are saying that this action of emulating William Shakespeare’s famous words from his play Merchant of Venice is the only artistic thing this big boss has done since their arrival.
Those who spoke to Cou Cou said that as employees they know they have to live with whom voters elect and appoint to run their offices – good or bad – but what they are concerned about is the unnecessary confusion being caused.
They are anxious too that there has been inadequate planning for a certain major event and are hoping the plans they come with are approved by this politico to ensure things go smoothly this year.
FBI on the case?
IS IT TRUE that someone from the United States Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) was here snooping around, asking pointed questions about a certain man?
Can anyone say for certain that this FBI action is taking place because this man is associated with an individual who is known to local law enforcers?
Does this FBI visit have anything to do with the loud whispers about a particular man not being able to travel to the United States any more?
Or is all of this talk just part of the political character-assassination and back-stabbing that tends to take place here?
These questions were posed to Cou cou and we are investigating. Check this space out for further developments.
Peacemaker gets a shocker
WHEN A PERSON offers an olive branch, it is normally regarded as a peace sign and a signal that they are willing to work out whatever difficulty that may exist.
So when a certain politico indicated recently their interest in setting differences aside and working with others towards achieving their common objective, maybe they were expecting for all to be forgiven, even if not forgotten. But that person got a shock when someone they least expected attacked as if someone had waved a red rag before a bull.
From what Cou cou was told, the individual who launched the attack did it so swiftly and with such venom that those in the meeting were caught totally unawares and the individual had to be asked to cool down.
The peacemaker, usually one of the most articulate people, was so taken aback by the attack that the politico could only stare at the attacker with a bemused look on the face.
It seems it will take more than just talk to heal the rifts created by this attack.
Stop the hobnobbing
WORKERS AT A CERTAIN GOVERNMENT OFFICE are calling on their colleague, whom they call “First In, Last Out”, to do some work.
They say this person, who until recently was known as a perennial deputy, should stop hobnobbing with the politicians and get down to the tasks the individual is paid to do.
