No lah, MORE work for me to do now! But at least now can bluff bluff say busy with stuff A and stuff B would have to wait. Hopefully this gets often enough that they may get me a graduate to "train". As for managers simply recruiting people, I think its a common problem here and back home as well. The thing is how to be smart and either a) not make you do their stuff, b) find ways to make them "fail" at their own job constantly. If things gets bad enough they would be fired. From what I heard, that was what got rid of him. If I had not taken the leave, and instead went back, the problem would have been corrected quite fast.

Is he gone? Good for you. Unfortunately, my place still have a dumb blonde earning close to $150k but have backing from a superior. It is OK, the backer will be retiring, but trying to to move her to a more secured position. Difficult!

When people are not matched to their job, it is quite stressful for everyone. If this Burmese is good at building relationships and has the smarts, he still stand a chance and move to a non-technical area while keeping his job. Otherwise, he will be "isolated" and fade away eventually. Not many people have a thick hide like Julia Gillard.

Actually, JG managed to get a few things done correctly in the public service before she turned toxic.
