Did someone post this yet? I was looking for facts about the situation and it seems that they aren't really all in. washingtonpost.com My husband and I were talking about this last night. He reminded me that when he was brought in to "save" a company, he found a lot of abuse of perks and hours. As he cleaned things up, he set for himself even higher expectations and carefully avoided even a hint of being "above" the rules. It looks on the surface as if Wolfie tried somewhat to do by talking to the board. I know my husband had some employees quite upset at having their free vacations curtailed and their hours supervised. He slowly weeded these people out and turned the company around, but there was always resistance from some. I would say the verdict is out on the question of what W. did, but he still is faced with the loss of credibility within the Bank itself. Still, some attention should be paid to the fact that employees really resent losing free lunches and they may be out to get him. Too bad he isn't a very good manager. It sounds as if the World Bank could do with some housekeeping.
