    Finally got rid of him. So much to do. At least TT is improving the situation. Now it’s time to clean the rest because they have a lots of incompetent people there at top level.

    This has to be the greatest news that IATA has ever heard since its beginning. I for one have no respect for this coward who has destroyed so many lives. Now, it’s time for his supporters to exit IATA.

    We need another article once the trench of senior management layoffs are announced.

    My postion was abolished during my maternity leave. Instead of fighting it, I head my head up high and moved on to greener pastures.

    They changed the name from HR to HC a few years ago, mainly becuase many had started calling the department HR- Human Remains

    I’m writing this 10 years after leaving and can just confirm that it was worse than the article raises; for instance, compensation was supposed to be based on merit and only very few staff could be considered as so called ‘A players’. Well, I had a super A player reporting to me and she was rewarded with zero increase…I saw correspondence (by accident i was copied) which showed that they had decided who would be the A players even before the reviews had been undertaken and submitted. Obviously the recommendations were not based on any merit…what a zoo…no, jungle.
