Management That Harms the Institution It is Governing (SaM and EPO)

Summary: A series of blunders and poorly-worded communications are harming institutions and companies (or institutions that outsource to companies and themselves behave like private companies); why are opponents of democracy being promoted to management positions?

THE THIRTEENTH part of the current series showed that the EPO's operations are being outsourced to Lukashenko apologists or closeted supporters. Maybe that's understandable given the behaviour of Benoît Battistelli and António Campinos. They're oppressive autocrats like Lukashenko and they routinely lie to "the people" (with a straight face, too).



"This isn't going to end well and the public will sooner or later catch up with the blunders."The video above is a personal interpretation of the situation in SaM and then the EPO, which is seemingly being 'liquidated' for some monetary gain. The people who run today's EPO don't care about the EPO's mission or the EPC, which gave the EPO a right to exist. This isn't going to end well and the public will sooner or later catch up with the blunders.

We shall soon publish a summary of the series.
