Bill, the hierarchy is simply using that apology to patronize you.
Probably true but I will give the benefit of doubt...especially when it comes to someone's livelihood.
It is not hard to believe the overbearing intimidation that Red could have installed over the years to staffers. It may take a new awareness for it to diminish that only a good swift kick to Red's arse would accomplish.
Red's actions are certainly more wrong than the mowing SK was removed for.
Red certainly could care less how his actions might affect his targets livelihood when his crap makes it to another's employer as it did with me.
