Bank officials, speaking on the condition of anonymity because they were divulging proceedings that were not supposed to be made public, reported that the rift between employees and the president had become a major distraction from their work, with some employees wearing blue ribbons in a display of defiance against his leadership.

“People feel paralyzed,” one official said. “No one is doing any work at all. This genie can never go back to the bottle.”

2. I certainly hope you're right. But those two are just too arrogant

and/or stupid to take the decent way out by resigning. At least I think so.

3. it must kill wolfie cuz i know he wants to demand that any

displays of blue ribbons will be punished severely. That is how these people work. But he can't, and that must be a hard pill for him to swallow... puts a big smile on my face tho.
