Title: vaccum continues in staff ranks
Post by: PJ on August 20, 2009, 04:33:39 PM: I hear another long term staff member is flying the coup!

Almost a total staff change from this region in recent times.

Is it just me or are the numbers of senior long term staff members leaving the service increasing?

Better get Fox & Mulder onto this are they being taken by Aliens?

Interesting...I have been on courses & worked with him on large incidents. Richard was one of the nice and competent ones during that timeframe.

I for one wish he was back...

Post by: chook on August 26, 2009, 06:34:01 AM: I thought he was one of your vollies first :wink: (ran in to him the other day in SA & I agree with Andrew - he certainly kept my "nuts" out of a fire a few times! However there were some who agree with the sentiments some of you have expressed. So what has he done that is so wrong? And I had no time for Chris at all!!!
cheers

Post by: fridgemagnet on September 07, 2009, 09:38:38 AM: I was at a training course and one of the participants and the instructors were discussing that the RC has gone on leave again for four weeks. Apparently this is not the first time that the RC has been away on leave with having four weeks in July and other bouts of leave through out the year. What I thought was strange was how one of the instructors said that the RC had cleaned out his office. it looks like we maybe loosing another long terms and committed staff embers from a region.
