Alas I am way too familiar with the kind of bureaucrat who would still not get the hint even if Jareth set the man's hair alight or sicced goblins on him. The kind of oxygen thief who managed to fail upwards way beyond his capability due to promotion being the only way previous managers could rid themselves of his presence. I suspect he'd still try and talk if he was submerged in the bog. I may need to borrow Jareth to test these theories. 🦊🧡
