Hard News: Nobody wanted #EQNZ for Christmas, in reply to Ian Dalziel,
in the business world, yes..
in the city-running world
not so much, I'd hopeCouncil CEOs engage with corporate stakeholders as well.
Like Hendo.. -
The actions of Mayor Bob and his posse in suppressing the unfavourable eqnz review until after Marryatt's payrise are interesting. Still, it's not them who will be turfed out by the govt as many naive correspondents are calling for.
Great comment #21 by our Mr Dalziel
Marryatt's new creed seems to be "Keep calumny and carrion"

From that article - which is the sort of link I was asking for, thanks - here's the man's interpretation of working tirelessly.
...Marryatt's golfing records on the golf.co.nz website, which show he played two rounds of weekend golf at Clearwater in the nine weeks after the February 2011 quake – on April 2 and in a stableford competition on April 9.
His round on April 2 was played on the same day it was reported that council staff were fighting to prevent the city's sewerage system collapsing, blanketing the city in an "almighty stink".
Marryatt said yesterday that he had worked nine weekends straight, attending community meetings and Civil Defence briefings, but this did not mean he had worked full days.
"I didn't take a weekend off, which doesn't mean I was working 10 hours for each day," he said.
"I did go play some golf. I just needed to clear my head."
Must have been a stressful year.
Records show Marryatt played 25 rounds of golf last year, mostly at Clearwater and in Hamilton, seven more than in the previous year.

Golf in working hours
Not defending Maryatt but it's likely 'par for the course' for deal-making executives, like cocktail parties are.
