The obsession continues

Eight years ago I blogged:

Former Radio NZ news manager Lynne Snowdon has lost her marathon employment dispute with the state broadcaster.

It’s insane that this case has dragged on for ten years. Hopefully this brings it to an end. I’ve followed the case for many years and had little doubt it would end this way. …

Snowdon let her grievance become an obsession. Off memory it all began as a dispute with then CEO Sharon Crosbie over the budget for the news division. If you don’t like the budget your boss gives you, then go find a new job – don’t turn it into a ten year dispute. If they really have spent $3.5 million on the fight, then that is even sadder, No one forced them to do so.

I blogged the above in 2014, 11 years after it all started in 2003. But I was too optimistic. The Supreme Court has just released a decision, dealing an recall application from Snowdon.

So 19 years on, the obsession continues. It’s beyond bizarre. Someone needs to do an intervention.
