I don't see the problem.

Every one of the charges (xcept the treadmill) I saw in private industry before I retired.

Hell, we had 3 day mind and butt numbing conferences for "team building".

$3,000/day for a consultant is nothing in private industry. One of our consultants was paid $5,000 to teach a 4 hour class in defensive driving. He was paid by the head and the whole staff was in the class.

This appears to me the be disgrundled employees kicking the body of the ex-boss in hopes that the new boss will take heed.

IMHO of course.

Well, I agree with you that by 90s and 00s corporate standards that she probably did no wrong by hiring the mind numbing, overpaid team building consultants.

In the 90s our work group was directed to a "ropes" type of team building exercise in which employees donned helmets and climed highwires, performed acrobatics at about 30 feet off the ground and numerous other circus type tricks under the guise of teambuilding. It had nothing to do with work and left no impact other than to the enhanced pocketbook of the management consultant charlatan.

The treadmill was over the top and I think that is what did the bureaucrat in.

It is just fun to see the overbearing, arrogant member of management take a fall for for stupid policies they inflict on their subordinates.

And let us not forget that the Management of this lousy organization paid themselves bonuses (for JUST doing their d@mn job!) of over $30 Million dollars, then announced they'd need to raise the price of stamps this years, due to a "shortfall" in income.

Take those bonuses back, and there'd be no darn shortfall!

For pete's sake, we need to retire half of these goof to pasture, and put in people who know how to WORK!.
