100% agree. It's a pretty **** thing to do to a work colleague (pardon the pun), but he needs to be a bit more stoic if he wants to survive a professional work environment.
If that came from one of his managers it's pretty appalling leadership if you ask me. It obviously says a lot about the culture of the workplace to be honest.
If the guy wasn't capable of doing his job then surely a grown adult can manage that situation appropriately, rather than by taking a cheap shot at him through a childish Christmas present.

Have you worked in the public service for ten years plus?

Can't see how that is relevant to whether or not some other manager is doing their job.
For all I know the bloke complaining was completely **** at his job, but this is a pretty unprofessional an immature way of handling the situation IMO.

You don't work in the public system?
Son, we live in a world that has forums, and those forums have to be guarded by Mods. Who's gonna do it? You? You, Nickman? I have a greater responsibility than you can possibly fathom. You weep for Lucy, and you curse GE. You have that luxury. You have the luxury of not knowing what I know -- that GE’s moderation, while tragic, probably saved lives; and my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, keeps threads on track and under the appropriately sized, highlighted green headings.
You want moderation because deep down in places you don't talk about at parties, you want me on that forum -- you need me on that forum. We use words like "stay on topic," "use the appropriate forum," "please delete." We use these words as the backbone of a life spent defending something. You use them as a punch line. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the blanket of the very moderation that I provide and then questions the manner in which I provide it. I would rather that you just said "thank you" and went on your way. Otherwise, I suggest you get a green handle and edit a post. Either way, I don't give a DAMN what you think about moderation.

Hahaha. The only thing public servant like about what I do is having to put up with bull**** from ****head bureaucratic administrators. I'd love the Xmas/NY annual leave shut down, but for some reason the community insist that their hospitals stay open. Demanding ****holes.
