A fine tradition ...
>"Some idiot," he writes, "had put an add-update where there obviously should have been an add."
... of fixing the problems you cause. And collecting brownie points into the bargain.
While some organisations will instantly sack the individual deemed responsible for such ballsups, there is a better way!
It is said that experience is the lessons learned from mistakes made. So what better way to gain that experience than by making mistakes. Combine with the other cliche of that which does not kill you, makes you stronger and a convincing argument can be made to retain all but the worst problem-makers: the people who always seem to be in the middle of every corporate disaster.
And in this case, had "Francis" been given the heave-ho, what are the chances that the replacement, would not have also spotted the same idiotic add and changed it to the obvious add-update?
