The bottom line remains solely one: Philip ‘Boobs’ Rizzo and Olivia ‘Boss’ Farrugia cannot stoop any lower in their professional positions.

Her appointment of head of division should be in jeopardy. Rizzo should be sacked immediately and the Employment & Training Corporation should review its methods.

These are the clowns of Hal Far paid out of our taxes.

No, in cases like this you have to criticise the person, not the action.

If it were somebody else entirely doing this – and not a head of division at a state corporation – nobody would give a damn.

Mara serja tal-familja? She separated from her husband when she had a minor child, she flirts publicly with her boss and her husband’s girlfriend works for her.

What kind of weird set-up is that?

To anyone defending Ms Farrugia’s behaviour: there are manners and actions that may be acceptable at the age of 16, when one doesn’t have a job and responsibilities but the same behavior becomes unacceptable with age and job position.

Having said that, the Facebook post wouldn’t be excusable anyway.

In reply to Discusser.7. It's irrelevant what sort of person Ms Farrugia is to her friends. This is a discussion about her public behavior given the fact that she is a senior official of the Employment & Training Corporation even when she is out drinking with friends.

I just cannot imagine how productive and creative management meetings must be at the Employment & Training Corporation, where senior management now know exactly how the CEO sees them. Ridiculous beyond belief.

“In my book, she should be sacked on the grounds alone that she can’t distinguish between sucking and suckling.”

Golden!

Who are you to judge and lie about what type of relationship Olivia has? And you, who don’t even know her!! People who know her know what a very serious and respectful person she is. A person who is in such a position because she deserves to be there.

This is a wonderful business, to judge and talk about people who you don’t know!! Taking advantage of your freedom of expression, as is evident in this article, is really a hobby of people who are desperate and bored in life. It is really not fair to judge what people do at their place of work, based upon some pictures during one’s time out of work. This is very childish. All this bla bla is based on no proof that Olivia is the kind of person you are picturing her to be. Being fired on such instances is really something ignorant and above all, who are you to decide? Such defamation of character is really unfair. Nobody should remain on your word, when surely someone means to harm Olivia – a very serious and bright lady, who apparently instils jealousy to some.

Live and let live daphne. I suggest you mind your own buisness or at least do your research right and you’ll see that she is where she is because she is an intelligent woman and also a woman who has a right to have a private life and a right to express herself on facebook without being judged by people who don’t know her. Clearly this looks like a ladies’ night out and i’m sue she used ‘suckling’ for the food ‘suckling pig’ … Of course with a pun intended. You call people you don’t know stupid, however you prove to be one yourself in the process by not getting the pun yourself. A good reporter does all her research and not whatever suits her article. Shame on you. Olivia Farrugia doesn’t have to blame for the sins of someone else. She has the right to be a woman … To have fun …. To live her life …. When she is outside the office.
