This morning

The Department of the Taoiseach has claimed some staff members confused bullying with not receiving a response to an email when filling out a recent workplace survey.

    The Machine must be giving Enda Kenny the heave ho in time to replace him before the next GE. The Indo rag usually does its best to defend him at all costs.

        Ok, Fine Gael then. Basically any party who hate the populace and prefer to sell us all off to private interest with a few sneaky laws changed to make it easier for them.

    Seriously, bullying? Who works in the Taoiseach’s office? Mistaking having to work as opposed to scratching their nether regions for loadsa money!

      In my experience politicians and their staff work extremely hard. Just because you don’t agree with policies (and I don’t) doesn’t mean they don’t work hard.

        But surely working really hard at f**ping things up isn’t to be merited.Even working really really hard.

      You do understand the The Office of the Taoiseach is a government department and not just a room with 3 people and a photocopier.

    There’s genuine work place bullying, then there’s that fabricated “pay me loads of money” work place bullying.

    Enda the bum hole put me right off my egg and chips last night with his irish language snobbery rant against Wallace

      Heh. Imagine Enda as Malcolm Tucker behind closed doors. If only: at least then he’d have a personality.

        Haha. Threatening someone like Brian Hayes with the old ‘I’ll tear off your skin and wear it to your mother’s birthday party so I can rub your balls off her shoulder while she’s blowing out her candles’ chestnut.

        Almost as sinister in Enda’s slowed down voice as Tucker’s Glaswegian one.

    “some” could easily be “one” going on what’s in the actual article; and it may not even have been someone who claimed to have been bullied in the first place.

    Headlines on both articles are hysterical but, hey, its the Indo…

  7. Just sayin'

    So I think its fair to say no one here has any clue about what like is like in D/Taoiseachs then.

    Did I read that right?

    If I don’t answer an email from some gobshite in work I’m a bully?
