					<description><![CDATA[In reply to &lt;a href=&quot;https://daphnecaruanagalizia.com/2016/08/live-great-country/#comment-3097335&quot;&gt;Daphne Caruana Galizia&lt;/a&gt;.

Well at least some of  my questions have been answered and fears confirmed: 

http://www.timesofmalta.com/articles/view/20160805/local/john-bundy-appointment-as-pbs-chief-supported-by-only-50-of-members.621053

But the report contains another little nugget: &quot;Meanwhile, Mr Attard is set to start talks on a severance package as he still had two years left to go according to his contract, the sources said.&quot;  

And there I was thinking that if the contracted employee decides to leave before his or her contracted ended it was their obligation to pay any penalties. So  is this a case of Anton being pushed?  Or is he being thanked for conveniently  moving aside. Another Joseph Cuschieri, but a lot less foolish and with an early Christmas present from the public purse.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Yes, so stand up to it. What&#039;s the worst that can happen, and is it going to be worse than what will happen if you DON&#039;T stand up to it?

The horrors of the 1970s and 1980s happened precisely because people behaved as you describe, but then it actually was dangerous.

It&#039;s not dangerous now, not in that way. A bit of harassment at work is hardly the same thing as being dragged to the police lock-up and not knowing how you were going to emerge, or if you were going to emerge at all.

Grow up, the lot of you. Look what I&#039;ve had to put up with for years, and I&#039;m still standing.]]></description>
