Please provide an example of another FADG/ADG/DepSec/Sec etc. who provides one months notice then moves on?

You honestly have zero clue what you’re talking about. What you suggest happens at the Band 1 or 2 level, doesn’t even occur at SES level.

Genuinely unsure if you’re just trolling, or have no context of anything in Government or private practice.

Because I’ll tell you, after having worked across both the public and private sector, no one moves into a new role after a 4 week notice period. You’d struggle to come across that at even an APS4 level or as a junior associate.

Rubbish. He could have started before September with gratitude.

Right. Unable to provide any real world examples, but sticking to the notion that merely saying something makes it so.

Droll, but apt.

No. What is ridiculous is that we dont have a CEO on thre ground when all this MFC Home base is falling apart. To make it worse he has to be at the Chamber of Commerce for a "Gathering" in 3 months time after appointment.

What if in the unfortunate event he passed away. Would the World Chambers Congress in September not go ahead?

He should be behind the desk.

Wizard of Koz, if that is your real name, what makes you think our home base plan is falling apart?

Oh you've got me. Yes my real name is not :"Wizard of Koz" .

In regards to Caulfield it would be great to have some clarity and green light. Maybe not falling apart but still not locked in.

To whoever challenged me to show some real life examples of people leaving gov jobs with 4 weeks notice I really am not going to go internetting for this. I have seen it many times.

Not sure why the know it alls are so uptight. It's weird.

So if you're correct why was this language used in the Club announcement: "Paul will hit the ground running and Members will have opportunities to hear directly from him very soon."

We/he didn't check?

What’s your context and question? I’m clearly not following what your statement and question has to do with my comment.

He has already started working for the club just not in his official capacity.

In what world, does a person in a position as CEO, regularly start after a month?

Bizarre.

“Yeah, I’ll just hand in my four weeks notice. See you in a month, boys!”

Greg Swann starting at the AFL 21 July after announcement of appointment earlier this month. AFL would not want one of their star attractions in the frontier State of Queensland to sag, and appropriate succession plan looks to be in place up there.

Meanwhile, our administration lacks urgency when there are significant challenges and opportunities afoot. Those opportunities need to be seized, and challenges addressed by a dynamic, settled administration.

Govt jobs have contracts too.

Will John Longmire be starting in September too?

Looks clear to me FWIW.

But what a stuff up. Fancy hiring a new CEO during the season, having taken 6 months to hire a new one, and the new guy can't start for another 6 months.

And if he was a fantastic appointment, would you wait a few months, or rather lose him and appoint a lesser person who could start right away?

How did he present when you interviewed him?

From Caro's reporting he was the lead candidate and had the job.

What a fuss about nothing in this thread. I bet if the team was winning this thread wouldn't have even appeared.

Do a bit of googling with Caroline Wilson. He was strongly favoured by AFL HQ too. Just as Peter Jackson was back in the day.

Instead we got a guy with no footy background at all.
