In a recent article he said, &#8220;Just doing my job&#8221;. What a bogus excuse. If you take a job, you&#8217;ve bought into what the company does. You&#8217;re responsible.&#8221; The tenor [...]]]></description>

You&#8217;re invited to John&#8217;s farewell, the drinks are flowing and his manager either doesn&#8217;t turn up, or doesn&#8217;t want to give a farewell speech.
