Dear God
you are still finding it difficult to let go of your sanctimoniousness you either forgive or you dont i think this is a problem you have.- there is also a problem of human rights here
also when it comes to man or any other type of flu - tho you seem to dispute that it is such - the advice is not to come into work the nononvirus is extremely contagious and widespread surely, given your previous comments, you are happier that employees act with caution and dont infect the whole population.
re the double guessing thing
perhaps you should have that conversation direct with East rather than speculating on it in a blog.
And of course .....
.... the AM will have been looking at #1 thinking 'I know what you did at the Xmas party'.
Repetition?
Frankly, in confidence, and just between ourselves, I found myself irritated by the CEO's repeated use of the word "candidly". However I am being too harsh on the chap, he did only use it twice (and on different days). Perhaps he has more important things to worry about than hunting for synonyms!
Have a good weekend!

East - what a piece of work...
He wants to manufacture a disagreement with his wife so he can divorce her because she won't relocate with him, rather than sit down with her and have an honest talk about how the marriage isn't working, and THEN saying that he plans to relocate and start a new life separately from her, which would at least be honest. And he wants you to help him. I hope you don't.
East
Candidly (sorry) my dilemma is simple.
I can either have East unhappy at home and thinking I'm denying him a chance to start again at work.
Or I can just have him unhappy in a new home but happy in a new role.
Or I can lose him.
I can't afford to lose two managers at once.
I don't think it's my job to interfere in his home life.
I do think a change would rejuvenate the team in the West who have not been well managed for a while.
I do think the East team has a good #2 who will help a new team leader into the role.
So, I don't like East's way of managing his recent marital and extra-marital relationships. So long as these do not re-impact on work is that my business?
Any thoughts?
Too much information ...?
"So, I don't like East's way of managing his recent marital and extra-marital relationships. So long as these do not re-impact on work is that my business?"
Seems to me that you have made them your business over the last few weeks.
And it seems to me that as you are now 4-5 years into the FD / CEO diary, there must be people in and around your organisation who know who you are (aside from the Audit Manager who we already know about) - so you've probably made them a lot of other people's buiness, too ....!
Consequently the whole East / #1 affair (no pun intended) has left me feeling slightly uncomfortable - publishing this stuff on a national website takes the concept of gossipping in the pub to a whole new level ....
Yes! spread those germs
Of course if you are in on the 30th reading this you are already doing it! Work from home until you are definitely through the infectious phase. Otherwise you will reduce the company's productivity by making other people ill. Forget about views on "Man-flu" and start thinking about basic infection control.
